This homemade compost sifter is still some work to remove the lumps from our own manure compost but not near as much as when Glen was sifting it by hand.
It took the two of us about 2 hours to sift and move this pile of compost into the garden.
Thanks for watching.
Annette
that is some fantastic final product
Thank you!
A lot of labor but you sure ended up with some incredible compost in the end! Congrats on a great process. Your garden will be happy next season!! Cheers Glen and Annette!
Thanks Rich!
We have made enough for half of the garden. Hopefully next week we get it all done.

Genius piece of equipment to get the job done! It looks like a A.T. Ferrel fanning mill we used to screen oats and barley through. When Glen pulled up with that bucket load of soil, I thought...Oh boy, that will be a test if he dumps the whole bucket load on it. Better patent it guys!
Thanks Steve! I left that one shot in because it does look like he’s about to dump it! 🤣
Take care,
Annette🌺
What a great piece of equipment Annette 🙌🏼 The sifted pile looks like a really nice and fine compost. Clever cookie!! Have a wonderful day xx Cathi xx 😘
Thanks Cathi!
Glen sifted a few beds by hand and decided that was way too much work! 😂
Take care lovely,
Annette🌺❤️
Very cool! Love the resourcefulness here on so many levels. Do you just let the big chunks age some more?
Hey Marc! We could make a new pile of those bigger pieces but we have so much cow manure that we will just start over next spring.
It’s a great excuse to clean the corrals!
Take care,
Annette 🌺
@@TheCowEmporium Hahaha makes sense. I wonder if you ran it through a mulcher before aging it would end up more fluffy.
great idea, that is an amazing compost pile that would change our lives here our ground is rock and clay that is a very nice sifter, please take care
We do have a lot of cattle manure for compost if we remember to get it started. Our soil is very clay as well.
Wow turned out good😄
It’s so nice! A lot of work but worth it. We need a lot of compost for our garden.
Take care lovely,
Annette🌺💛
Great builder wow great mind.😄
He’s a smart cookie! 🌺
This is awesome!
Thank you!
Hey Annette! Wow, that's alot of work! But the veggies are gonna love it! Great idea Glen! 🍂
Thanks Ina! The garden will be so happy! 🌺
We just watched this on the TV and had to come here and comment. That is really nice, My son and I was thinking of making something like this. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Glen was thinking of doing a video to explain the different ways to cause the vibration. If you are building one probably the easiest way to get the shaking would be with a sawzall (reciprocating saw).
Take care,
Annette🌺
Wow!!!! Absolutely amazing!!! Glenn is a genius!!! What a money saving device there, perfect compost texture!! Loved the end , when Glenn is down sifting through his fine work, you two did great!!! Getti g to old to hand sift🤦🤦🤣🤣🤣 Boy I know that feeling!! Great job you two!! The first time I would plug that in...it would shake apart🤦🤦🤦 What a valuable tool!! Thank you both for bringing us along!! 😁😁😁👍👍👍
Thanks Nelson! Glen was a little exuberant sometimes throwing the shovel fulls onto the tray... I may have worn near as much as the ground the odd time. We will see how today goes...maybe we switch jobs! 😆😆
Hope your weekend has been good and you can breathe a little.
Take care,
Annette🌺
@@TheCowEmporium I can imagine that look he must have gotten during those times 🤣🤣🤣🤦🤦🤦 Yes ma'am hope y'all do too!!
Looks great.
Thank you! It’s still some work but way less than by hand.
Now that is a handy piece of equipment!! Well done Glen! 👏 you need that with all that compost, that’s gonna make such a difference in time for you guys :) I do love that you can wheel it around too, great design guys!! Much love 💕 💐🌻 xx
Thanks Anita! The compost looks so nice coming out after being sifted.
Our plants are going to be sooo happy!
Take care lovely,
Annette🌺💛
So cool!
Glad you enjoyed this!
Well that’s fancy! Looks like it works amazing! Wow! Great design!
It is working pretty well so far. We have sifted enough for 1/4 of our big garden.
If we spend another half a day at it we should have enough.
It is still labor intensive but isn’t that the way of the garden? 😂😆
Take care,
Annette🌺
Nice sharing my friend watching here new friend here
Thank you! 🌺
what a clever idea... that equipment helps a lot...👍
It is so much better than by hand!
Thank you!
Wow this was really great ...as Glen said it's too old for that ...so now you invented new one... Im always amazed you both
Mithz! Glen is a smart cookie... 😉
Nice setup! That will save some time. It reminds me of some great machines I saw yesterday at an antique tractor/truck/machine show.
That’s cool Rick. Did you get some pictures of the show?
@@TheCowEmporium Yes. At least two videos coming soon.
so great mountain of compost with beautiful sunset big👍
Thank you! 🌺

@@TheCowEmporium we are hanging in. Hurt my back, out of commission for awhile. Ben a rough summer. You guys should have a super garden next year. God Bless.

What a great idea !
But if their is huge sacks down or barrel for the unsifted hard materials u don’t need to shovel again to transfer ,but bravo 👏
Less effort and energy ..!
GoodLuck 🍀🍀
That would be handy! This kind of job is labour intensive for sure even with the sifter.
Take care!
I had a wood grain cleaner too worked great for seed what a smart idea Glen always enjoy your videos CYU
Thanks Ray!
@@TheCowEmporium UBET CYU
Hey Annette..... It's nice to see you guy's... Oh yeah that's a giant file of poop
Glen said we didn’t have to get through the whole pile.
We will pick away at it!
Take care my beautiful friend,
Annette🌺💛
It is so interesting my friend. Thank you for sharing 👍👍👍
Oh that's nice! I wish I knew how to do that. Do you have a video on how to put something like this together for a novice? I am really interested on how you attach a motor to shake the thing.
The motor part was a lot more complicated and expensive than it needed to be.
If I did it again I would mount a reciprocating saw to the frame with hose clamps and fasten a strip of metal where the blade goes and attach that to the screen to make it go back and forth.
The saw has a adjustment for speed (most varieties).
Nice job, much easier on the back. Can you raise or extend the front two legs for a sharper angle?
Thank you! We sure can tilt the tray a little more, that would help moving those flatter pieces of compost down.
It wasn’t too bad with two people but alone it could be a bit more work for sure.
Take care!
*Great. Big lk frd 👍 Thank you so much for share this homemade compost tutorial video frd ☕🙏*

You betcha Matt! Thanks!

dusty job but well worth the time
Still labor intensive but way cheaper than to buy it.
Hebat :) Suka untuk anda :) Saya ucapkan selamat berhujung minggu :)
