New to the Game?

Welcome!

(1) Build yourself a plain rack, four feet by two feet. Chances are strong you will be buying timber in eight-foot lengths, so this size will minimize the amount of sawing you need to do.

(2) Prop up your rack with a piece of scrap timber on top of your garden bed – so the sieved material falls where it can be used.

(3) Toss shovels of stuff as close to the top of the rack as you can manage without throwing OVER the top of the rack into the next county.

(4) After ten shovelfuls of material stop and ask yourself how you feel.

(5) If at this stage you have had enough, then stop. Re-use the timber and mesh for some other job.

(6) Otherwise experiment with different angles for the rack (change the length of your prop, which will alter the slope of the mesh), and experiment with different materials to see what slope suits what material.

(7) If you have a few spare grades of mesh, then experiment with grades of mat on top of your rack.

(8) Congratulations. You are now the local (on your house lot) expert at soil remediation.

Of course now you can go back and read the main document and its tribe of wannabees in full, and drop off to sleep tonight with dreams of Conquering The World.

(9) If you find your rack is a tad to big to fit a convenient table that can be used to mount the rack, you can always shorten the length and width of your rack by a few inches.
