Just what I've been looking for. Didn't want to go through the trouble of finding and hooking up a motor with pulleys and belts, but I was tired of sifting by hand. This is a great middle ground. Thanks for sharing. Now I'm off to the flea market in search of bicycle tires and casters.

Now that is the perfect sifter for a DYI-er. Cheap and easy, I think I will go 3/4" plywood on my driver side (Just for longevity) I just have to make sure it is reasonably centered. Brother, you just saved me ALOT of time and money.

Just got my piles set up, figured I’d look at some softer ideas. This is the simplest yet most effective one I’ve seen. The only improvement I can see is to add a motor that can rotate it while I shovel more in, and then have a way for the big stuff to escape. But what ever I build it will probably start out as this. Thanks!

l used three rims so I could use the center one for a drive belt. Hooked the drive belt up to an old variable speed drill motor, and went to work on my pile of 10 yards of dirt. Took a lot of hits and misses before I got everything working right but it was worth it. Good Luck

Simplest form for a compost trommel I've seen as I've been looking. I like the masonite end and the method of just keeping the "rejects" in the barrel to empty. Not sure it'll work, as our barrel is 4ft long. Will try each. Thanks for showing us simply and not wasting our time.

That’s pretty nifty. I have four old front loader dryer wheels from the dryer tub that would work perfectly for this and they would be super quiet because they’re neoprene or similar. Was thinking you Could have a top frame as well with two wheels up top that way the barrel will be locked in by all four wheels. You could add a crank to the round board side of the barrel and build a simple floor plate on hinges that you could simply tilt and dump the entire thing into a bin . I like to use those black cement mixing tubs you get from the big box hardware store for this kind of stuff. Those bicycle wheels are such a cool idea.

Excellent. Would be awesome to slap a belt on it with a little crank wheel maybe a bit easier to turn tbat way. I made a bag shape by folding a piece of 1 inch chicken wire and zip tying the edges and using a stick for a handle at the top. I fill it with compost and shake it for 20 seconds or so and it seperates all the small bits from thr twigs and large leaves! Great for smaller quantities. The sifter i made is about 5 gallons and i put about 3 gallons of compist into it at a time

This is a great screener, nice job. I made something somewhat similar using bike rims. But I bought some heavy duty 42 in. x 7 ft. Mesh Mat from Home Depot that's used to set in concrete to reinforce it. The squares are like 4" so just lined it inside with the 1/2" screen. The concrete mat I rolled into the size to fit the inside of the spoke-less bike rims and zip tied it, it's wicked sturdy thicker steel and will never give way. I had to zip tie over the rims though and not in the spoke holes so for roller wheels it might not be so good, but it rolls over my wheel barrow real easy and can be spun by hand too. It sure makes quick work of screening and will never break due to the thick steel of the concrete mat, only 14 buck$ too.
