Instead of trying to balance a big screen over the top of an angled wheelbarrow, this thing fits nicely over a 5 gallon bucket from Home Depot or Lowes. The agitator that spins is spring mounted, so it normally spins about a half inch above the screen, which is fine for the majority of the sifting, but if you get clumps that you need to break up, you can push down on the handle as you're turning it, which pushes the agitator down flush with the screen, to help push bits through the screen. Note: After watching a video of another customer sifting into a bucket, when they fought with getting it off of the bucket, because the legs have little 90 degree "feet" at the end that catch on the rim of the bucket, I decided to mount the legs on mine backwards with the feet facing outward. (see photo). The legs actually have a little rounded bend to them so that they conform to the edge of the round sifter, but you can still mount them backwards and just tighten the bolts enough to make them secure. This way, it just slides right on and off the bucket! So assembly only took about 10 minutes. With fairly dry compost, it takes maybe 5 minutes to fill a 5 gallon bucket with perfectly sifted compost! If your compost is too wet, it takes longer because it clogs up the screen with mud. But then I find it much easier to haul the 5 gallon bucket of compost around to my garden beds, instead of trying to navigate an unsteady wheelbarrow up some steps. So this is now a valued tool in my arsenal! Review: Great little tool . - It works great on normal dirt but struggles with clay , in fairness the clay was a little damp . All in all , it’s very helpful . ## Features - A Must in the Garden：5x as productive as a ordinary sifter. It has turned an hour of laborious hand riddling into 10 mins of ease and Saved hours of back-breaking work If you use a normal sifter, it is a very tiring and slow process. - Treat Yourself and Your Back: This product will save your arm and Backache from manually sifting dirt, compost, weeds, etc. 4 or 5 times quicker than hand sifting .you will get years of use due to sturdy metal construction and ease of use. - Easy to use, sieves tons of compost in minutes ：Much quicker and less messy than using a garden seive. Compost became friable and lovely. Works wonders in getting rid of all the stones. give almost 'dust' silt from most mediums. separate stone, weeds, and nonorganic material for 'finely screened' results. - Easy to Assemble and Use:took a few minutes to assemble. Durable, effective in the sieving of soil. far quicker than a conventional riddle to separate weeds, stones, and root material to give you ready-to-use compost. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0C2PMPDKN | | Best Sellers Rank | #254,200 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #91 in Lab Sieves | | Brand | dootiva | | Brand Name | dootiva | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 188 Reviews | | Item Weight | 5.3 kg | | Manufacturer Part Number | compost sifter | | Model Number | compost sifter | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Style | Garden,Potting | | Style Name | Garden,Potting | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** dootiva - **Item Weight:** 5.3 Kilograms - **Style:** Garden,Potting ## Images ![Rotary Soil Sifter Compost Sieve Garden Potting Sifting Mesh Rock Sand Dirt Sieve, 13" Sifting Filter with 1/5 Inch Mesh Sifting - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Zi4tyLvnL.jpg) ![Rotary Soil Sifter Compost Sieve Garden Potting Sifting Mesh Rock Sand Dirt Sieve, 13" Sifting Filter with 1/5 Inch Mesh Sifting - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81McbLWg1BL.jpg) ![Rotary Soil Sifter Compost Sieve Garden Potting Sifting Mesh Rock Sand Dirt Sieve, 13" Sifting Filter with 1/5 Inch Mesh Sifting - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Gnt6AzHjL.jpg) ![Rotary Soil Sifter Compost Sieve Garden Potting Sifting Mesh Rock Sand Dirt Sieve, 13" Sifting Filter with 1/5 Inch Mesh Sifting - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LSHJCkvxL.jpg) ![Rotary Soil Sifter Compost Sieve Garden Potting Sifting Mesh Rock Sand Dirt Sieve, 13" Sifting Filter with 1/5 Inch Mesh Sifting - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Ub0LZs9dL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How fine is the screen?

All in all , it’s very helpful . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well when grinding dry components; not so much when things are wet. *by J***S on October 22, 2024* I was super excited to try this and threw it together as soon as it arrived. Unfortunately it was a humid misty day and I tried to use it on moist-ish horse apples and wood chips. Things did not go well and I was super annoyed and disappointed. A week later on a much drier day I gave it a go again and it worked like I had hoped it would. I'm grinding through my dried food waste, weeds, compost and composted manure. I was getting frustrated when hay bits were winding around the axle...and I noticed a bunch of weed seed heads in the mix. Winter is coming and despite being ground up, I don't expect that I will be able to turn the pile...so my compost will probably not reach the temperature needed to kill the seeds. I grabbed my blow torch* and used it to burn off the seed heads and burn/break up the stalks, making it much easier to grind and burning up the weed seeds. I find it much easier to use this way. *But, obviously be sensible. It's like when you use a propane weed burner.... do this far from your home, away from stretches of dry plant material that can catch. Rake away leaves and keep an eye on any embers. I do it in my driveway where there are no overhead tree branches. I keep a bucket full of water beside me and the hose with the spray nozzle. If an ember pops up, spray it. Spray water around the area you are working to prevent brush fires. I keep my fire extinguisher on hand just in case, but haven't needed it. Also, if you try this don't forget to keep your hair pulled back, don't wear loose clothes, stay upwind, don't do it if the wind direction is changing constantly, etc.. I am developing a bit of tennis elbow doing this, but am going to try to find a way to automate it. Happy grinding! ## Frequently Bought Together - dootiva Rotary Soil Sifter Compost Sieve Garden Potting Sifting Mesh Rock Sand Dirt Sieve, 13" Sifting Filter with 1/5 Inch Mesh Sifting - Wenses Soil Sifter, Wide Size (17.5 x 11.5 inches) with 1/4 inch Mesh, Garden Sieve for Dirt, Sand, Rocks, and Compost - Wenses Soil Sifter, Standard Size (12 x 10 inches) with 1/4 inch Mesh, Garden Sieve for Dirt, Sand, Rocks, and Compost --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/532082869-rotary-soil-sifter-compost-sieve-garden-potting-sifting-mesh-rock](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/532082869-rotary-soil-sifter-compost-sieve-garden-potting-sifting-mesh-rock) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
