Our adult son just made a compost sifter following your detailed, easy to follow directions. We had all the supplies on hand. Used 1/2" hardware cloth instead. Shaking it together is fun! Now I can amend our veggie beds in preparation for Spring planting. I have been watching your channel since the pandemic started. Thank you for teaching me how to be a successful gardener and improve my diet. You are awesome!!!
ok one more comment - your enthusiasm is contagious and I need to watch more of you. I have definitely been down in the dumps lately, recently disabled/unemployed, throwing a pity party I guess. ding ding ding, round 2!! i'm ready for spring now
Another cheap, many times free, item I use to sift my compost is an old milk crate. The openings on the bottom are bigger than the screen John uses, but it doesn't make much difference (to me at least). There is some size limitation since milk crates are only about 1x1, but they work in a pinch. I'll probably still make one like yours, John, and be happier for it. Thanks for the post!

John you are one of the planet's SUPERHEROS man! Not a go getter but a much more important person of stature and value. A GO GIVER! Thanks for your videos, you rock Cheers
John, I place two pvc pipes on top of my wheelbarrow and then place the sifter on top of that. it's much easier to rock it back and forth when it's on wheels. I also only load the sifter about half way each time, seems to be a lot easier for me. I hope it helps!
Seems like I see a lot more people trolling this thought than actual references in his vids. John has been a wealth of info for my wife and me in our pursuit of a more green and organic lifestyle. Thanks John, keep up the good work and I will continue sharing your vids with friends and family. :-D
Nice video. Using your guide I built a slightly smaller version, 20" square screen as my wheel barrow is smaller, & my rock/dirt mix is heavier. Used the 1/2" square wire mesh as I'm separating dirt from gravel, accepting the pebbles that fall through 1/2", but rejecting all the bigger rocks. Smallest roll of that wire mesh is $7 @ HD. It's a $10 job, even cheaper if you use 2x3s or scrap. Well done !
i made one of these a few months back and it has already come in handy so many times! a great and easy little project for a wonderful tool. I like that you put the legs hanging off of it, mine is about the same size, but no legs and if i'm not careful it will fall into the wheel barrel. One thing you can do to make it a little easier is to set 2 or 3 pieces of of 1inch pvc pipe between your sieve and wheel barrel. They act like rollers.
I feel like I'm watching Price Is Right when ever you spin that thing ... One of these days just randomly proclaim "ONE DOLLAR, Bob!" Keep up the good work! LOVE hearing what you have to say:) Don't ever stop making videos!
Thanks for the directions, John! It was easy to build and easy on the wallet. I added a push/pull handle to it made from a few blocks of 2"x4" and a length of dowel. The handle makes the sifter easy to carry and easy to slide and rock when it's over the wheelbarrow.
Hi , I am a missionary living in Mexico about 2 hrs south of Mexico city.I came across your videos and I enjoyed them. The one on desert gardening was perfect I enjoy gardening a lot I have a large Cactus collection. I am going to branch out to veggies because of you.thanks and keep up the good work.I am looking forward to watching more videos.
This is a great video. I came for ideas on the sifter and this one is heavy-duty. I'm going to do the same thing using 1x2's (rather than 2x4's). It will be much lighter, and easier to handle. During the cooler months, this screen can be placed on top of your outside air conditioner to reduce the amount of debris that collects inside the fan housing.
Any one doing this. build two of these one with 1/2 screen the other with 1/4. Stack them on top of each over. 1/4 on bottom, 1/2 on top will make sifting way faster and less effort.
Thank you for the very detailed sifter instructions. I've been making compost since the 60's, thanks to Rodale and OG Magazine. I made a sifter years ago and use it regularly. Throwing the large pieces into the new compost also inoculates it with beneficial organisms to get it going faster. I have been using an "earth machine" for years, but I've just ordered a two-chamber tumbling composter -- not as fancy as yours but it's what I can afford. Now I can make more compost, and faster too. Wow!
Idk why buy all I can think about it how this dude looks like a grown up Carol from the walking day and because a middle school teacher. Easy to watch and informative.
Thank you for sharing this! This is my favorite tutorial version of all the soil and compost sieves on UA-cam. The idea of including a handle to sift the compost into a larger container was simple but genius. At 9:35 to 10:16 is what im talking about. :D I am redoing my entire back yard that is 0.3 acres and there are patchy spots where the grass cant grow because the previous owner threw in rocks and pebbles. I had the displeasure of trying to figure out how to remove them from the good soil, until i found this video in particular. So far it's working like a charm! :D
Ideas: - compost in a line, against a wall if possible. When you have fresh compost, it's easy to dig a hole and add it against the wall. When you turn the pile, turn it to the right. The right end will have the most decomposed, the left will have the fresh scraps. - use drawer rails and maybe stack drawers so you can slide the sifters back and forth. I haven't tried this yet.
I had no idea that it had been scientifically proven but I always feel good after sticking my head in my compost bin and having a big sniff! I love that warm, eathy smell! Great vid John!
I had an old pedestal fan with a wire mesh blade guard that worked perfect for sifting soil. There was an old pool that had been backfilled with a lot of concrete, brick, and broken glass debris, so I sifted it all out to make a large garden. It is very lightweight yet strong enough for the job. Just a heads up if anyone can find one and repurpose it. Thanks for the vids John!
Nice job man! Just made this after watching your video and working great for removing/sifting dirt from rocks from our garden bed we are changing from rock bed to mulch. Thanks for making this!
Oh, man! I waited a long time for videos in HD resolution :D Although I don't own a garden yet I watch your videos and trying to learn as much as I can. Good job and greetings from Slovenia, EU
1:35 LOL I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY. Fresh compost I buy at some of the good sites near me locally smells heavenly in a earthy sense. I thought I was crazy. I'm glad theres research so I can tell people I'm not crazy.
If you are Really Cheap or Really Broke. Go to your local nursery and get a few square flats. The 1/4" and 1/2" flats make great or grate soil and compost sifters. If you stack the one with smaller holes on the top, it will give it a bit of strength. And best of all it is free.
I find it easier to push the compost back and forth on the screen with a short-handled garden hoe, rather than shake the whole sifter. Also, sifting is easier with dry compost, so to prepare a compost pile for sifting, cover it with a plastic sheet or tarp during rains and remove the cover when the Sun can hit it. However, I don't bother to sift most of my compost when I use it to top-dress around garden plants. The twigs and chunks can sit on the ground and most of them will be gone in a year. Sifting is worth the effort for making a potting mix. An intermediate approach is to chop a twiggy compost pile with a mattock, axe, or shovel. That will cut most of the rotted twigs into shorter lengths so they aren't as ugly.

I just use a dog food bag and I have left over underground giant pipes that I fill them up to make compost and it works find. I even have a bag in my balcony and it doesn't smell because they are just leave from my plants all for free. When I started it was with a bucket. They sell those shifters here because it is use for construction. I had one from the time we were making our house but I don't know what happen to it. need to buy one. Great video.
Would it be possible for you to tell me how I need to adjust your wheelbarrow sifter plans to accommodate a wheelbarrow that is approximately 44 inches long and 33 inches wide; these are outside edge to outside edge dimensions. I want to make sure I have the boards cut to the right length.
I went into the future, and sadly, lumber prices have gone through the roof. 😒 That 10x 2x4, if I remember correctly (it's hard to recall some things due to the return trip) now costs closer to $10. Each. 16x2x4 is around $17 each. Oh, and stock up on TP, you could sell a bunch to pay for the 2x4s (and make a killing for the investment), it will out of stock several times over the course of 2 years.
John I have a question for you. What is your thoughts on the back to eden gardening style of gardening??? Would like to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks Jimmy James
Watching your rock dust and composting videos as well as other videos about using epsom salt as a booster has sparked a question. Do you see any benefit of adding epsom salt to your compost as it is cooking? Thanks for the tips info you give.
Love this video, love your enthusiasm, love that you actually wrote out what we are going to need on the video but gotta have to give you a thumbs down for being deceptive about the price. You said about $5 for the 2x4, $1 for the 2x1, $13 for the whole screen (you can't adjust the price down because you're only using part of the screen), and you didn't mention what the price of the deck screws were. I understand it might have costed you less than $10 because you already had some stuff but it would have been nice to have a fairly accurate price going out the door of the store if we didn't have these things. No, it's not gonna break the bank but it would be nice to know in reality the "$10 project" will really cost us between $20 to $25. :/ I do appreciate that you had cheaper or free hints for using other things as sifters. Another good cheap hint would also be checking Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity or garage sales for 2x4's and screws. Always someone getting rid of grampa's stuff or downsizing.
CrazyPirateSquirrel or you could go online and pay $60-70 for one instead? Maybe that’s what he paid where he went..So he was off by $10-15. If that’s gonna take food off your table maybe you shouldn’t be purchasing things like this.
The color of compost depends on its maturity, moisture level, the conditions under which it forms, and the starting material(s). John said his compost was still warm, so it was not mature at the time of the video. Compost made in an enclosed tumbler will not have been worked by earthworms like well-aged compost from a pile on the ground.
You can make that screen for free, I have done it. You can get the wood for free from scraps or from pallets, go to a construction site and scrounge the cloth and nails. I would use a paint scraper or another peice of wood to rake the compost over the screen. Great video!
Few ideas: Exterior glue, screw and use metal corner reinforcement on 2x4s. Coat, paint, Moisture, drying of wood, use will separate joints. Use larger sheet of wire screen, cut 45 degree cut at each corner and roll 1 bys from each side. The 1 bys will take the wire stress compared to just the screws. By doing some this this it will last years and year, or just rebuild new though I build to last forever. RJF, Mundelein, IL
John, I would like to buy a juicer from you, but whenever I type in, growingyourgreensDOTcom, it redirects to your UA-cam channel! I'd like to support your efforts with a purchase! -Brian
Great help ... I was mistakenly waiting for it ALL to break down and it was takin 4ever! Have never seen an avo pit break down v.much and the peel i cut into tiny scraps. I need a more step by step how to though bec not carpentry inclined tho i made 2 tall/lg tomato trees from online step by step ok. Have trouble with the cordless drill not screwing into the wood and bouncing all over the place so I had to make pilot holes and screw in manually = blisters!

Great vid John!
Maybe you can stretch that onion mesh bag on the sifter frame instead of hardware cloth to save money.
for a small amount of compost - I just use a kitchen strainer - something everyone has in their kitchen. Thanks, John for the great tips!
Good call on the produce bags! Always looking for reclaimed urban material uses like this.

I'm a first time gardener and Thanks to you... I have an amazing garden this year. Thanks for the vids!!
This is a great video! A sifter is a must for anyone who composts at home.
It is on my short list to build a new topsoil/compost strainer.
I WILL be borrowing your design.
Thanks a lot, John.
Ok this guy is awesome! Lol. Personality and perseverance through the rain. Thanks for the video!
John, that compost looks amazing!
Nice job man! Just made this after watching your video and working great for removing/sifting dirt from rocks from our garden bed we are changing from rock bed to mulch. Thanks for making this!
the idea at the end was like a bonus! I have a big bag of oranges, now I know what to do when all the oranges are gone!
Oh, man! I waited a long time for videos in HD resolution :D
Although I don't own a garden yet I watch your videos and trying to learn as much as I can.
Good job and greetings from Slovenia, EU
I built this out of scrap material I had laying around, thanks for the good idea. Now I need a good compost tumbler.
Love the personality/humor. The vids are fun to watch, and very helpful. Keep em coming.
Great sifter John. Thanks for sharing it with us.
1:35 LOL I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY. Fresh compost I buy at some of the good sites near me locally smells heavenly in a earthy sense. I thought I was crazy. I'm glad theres research so I can tell people I'm not crazy.
It was nice back when you were making 10 min. long videos.
1/2 inch mesh works perfectly for sifting soil.
If you are Really Cheap or Really Broke. Go to your local nursery and get a few square flats. The 1/4" and 1/2" flats make great or grate soil and compost sifters. If you stack the one with smaller holes on the top, it will give it a bit of strength. And best of all it is free.
he's a gardening DYNAMO!!! growingyourgreens 4ever!!
I use the mesh bags the oranges come in. The opening is the size of the construction cloth you used to make your compost shifter.
Thanks John... Your an asset to America.. I LIKE JAYMATIK IDEA ABOUT A MIC

Is it really important to sifter ?
Thanks for the video
John I have a question for you. What is your thoughts on the back to eden gardening style of gardening??? Would like to hear your thoughts on it.
Thanks Jimmy James
Love this design❤.
I've acquired 50+ 2-5 gallon buckets at the bakery department at my local wal-mart.
That was pretty clever. I'm going to use these ideas.
Great idea and easy to construct! Many thanks.
My husband used these plans from woodprix and he's very satisfied.
Great video John!
I would have just staple gunned the hell out of that screen.
Watching this in 2021 dreaming about the lumber prices you're talking about.
Watching your rock dust and composting videos as well as other videos about using epsom salt as a booster has sparked a question. Do you see any benefit of adding epsom salt to your compost as it is cooking? Thanks for the tips info you give.
Can I use a nail gun instead of a drill??
and old pet protector for a screen door works well as well. Expanded aluminum metal.
Hello John. I've been watching your videos for awhile now. And this video in particular made me subscribe to your channel. Thanks.
I like the bag idea. Thanks
Woot! neat video. Thanks for the how-to
be cool with wheels and hard springs either side; to bounce side to side.
I just PM'ed you a message about someone stealing your videos
1:22, best internet thing ever.
Hulk Hogan, AAARRRER!
John, I use a kitty scoop pooper scooper to sift my worm compost.
I just shared this video on facebook. I dig your positive attitude! (life's a garden, dig it? heh heh)
Can I put retired wheatgrass roots into my compost?
Scotty Bowers you can put retired.... anything or anybody into compost

Love your videos and i learn English from you :)
This guy is like the Australian zoo guy
Most of your videos are filmed from your Las Vegas home, is most of your work in Vegas?
Great stuff, thanks John!
John, why is your compost so brown??? Or does it look brown in the video?
All of the compost I have made and bought is jet black.
Thanks for the vids
The color of compost depends on its maturity, moisture level, the conditions under which it forms, and the starting material(s). John said his compost was still warm, so it was not mature at the time of the video. Compost made in an enclosed tumbler will not have been worked by earthworms like well-aged compost from a pile on the ground.
are you trolling cause that was black as fuck lol
You can make that screen for free, I have done it. You can get the wood for free from scraps or from pallets, go to a construction site and scrounge the cloth and nails.
I would use a paint scraper or another peice of wood to rake the compost over the screen. Great video!
I like watching your videoes, but sometimes it would be nice if you have a mic attached so we can hear you better when you drift away from the camera.
have you seen the jk280 1/2 model
i have the 69 haboosa maximus 1/4
thanks for the sweet vid.
Where do you get the screening? Been to Lowes, Home Depot and other stores around town and nobody carries it?
I bought a 25 foot roll of half-inch mesh hardware cloth from Amazon.
its rare shit the illuminati doesnt want you to have a compost sifter
ACE Hardware stores
Thanks for the tips!
lol, at the 7:52 mark I thought you were gonna say "I would encourage you guys to get a cat"
Few ideas: Exterior glue, screw and use metal corner reinforcement on 2x4s. Coat, paint, Moisture, drying of wood, use will separate joints.

Hello from 2021. A 2x4 at the hardware store costs $16
Compost sifter design at 2:40.
Thank you!
Compost sifter used at 9:30.
Maybe you can stretch that mesh onion bag over your sifter frame instead of hardware cloth to make it lower cost.
Thank you a lot!
How would you use this if there are worms in the compost?
it may be less work to push the compost though with your hands than doing all the shakeing
John, I would like to buy a juicer from you, but whenever I type in, growingyourgreensDOTcom, it redirects to your UA-cam channel! I'd like to support your efforts with a purchase! -Brian
Great help ... I was mistakenly waiting for it ALL to break down and it was takin 4ever! Have never seen an avo pit break down v.much and the peel i cut into tiny scraps.
