Rainy Day Projects....Sifting

[ghues]

So what are your fall/winter projects.???
Btwn falll and spring we get many continuous periods of ️ days.....So one has to work inside. With drier days I have a wheelbarrow set-up. Here is my indoor sifting units....the large sifter fits tightly into the tote and if the material is dry it only takes a few shakes.....on bottom of photo is sifted pumice, next tote sifted red lava, blue bucket "raw"lava, yellow bucket - 1/4" lava....silver lid bucket is my seat.

I will spend some time under the roof, beside the wood pile sifting away.

I sift and mix my soil in 5 gallon buckets as I need it and I prefer to do it in the garage or outside because its dusty and messy.

Winter time I do a lot of reading, and this winter Ill do alot of needle plucking and wiring because I have too many pines

Repotting starts Jan.2 and continues until February middle.
Lots of other things to do.

I said it before but I still cant get over how proud I am of myself, so I feel like saying it again.
I found the ultimate supplier for my pumice. I go on a Saturday and sift the size I want from their stored bin. I fill two 40kg bags of the smaller and two bags med in 1 1/2 hrs. (not so quick when the pumice is wet). No more paying for fines or to big ones.

Here's one for you Fred,

our 5 mm gravel comes in bags, and goes up and down, 4 and 6/7 mm.
Sand blasting company supply.
So only when we repot and sift the used soil.
We truly get to 5 mm.

Now if we could only get it as spheres.
Good Day

That's great Ants, but what do you use gravel for? I use it in concrete....

 

[Anthony]

Well, I can't use it for scrubbing the soles of my feet when bathing. I use pumice.
