DIY Vibrating Soil & Compost Sifter
This video shows how I built a vibrating soil screen on my lawn cart.
An UPDATE - I made a couple modifications to the design: I replaced the angle iron with a 2x2 board (& eye hooks) and now use toolbox clasps to secure that board to the side rails instead of wing nuts. The angle and wing nuts worked fine, but now I can assemble or disassemble the sifter in under 1 minute. I also attached a thin piece of rubber on the board where the compression springs bounce, to make in run even quieter.

This is an elegant solution! Thank you for sharing.
Does it work with rather wet matters?
@@denisdufresne5338 what I’ve done with wetter compost is clamp a board across the middle of the screen. Wetter compost, then sits above the board and I can work it with my hand if necessary.
Very interesting idea.
Hey, I saw your video and I was so impressed by the shaking effect! Can I ask what kind of mechanical device you're using to achieve that? It looks really cool!
Looking to build also the motors speed control if want to add is on ebay and Amazon under vibrating motor . There is different wattages . I bought a extras small one to mount on my recliner chair .
How did you secure the compression springs? Think it would hold up if compression springs were attached to both ends, so that the sieve is parallel to the ground?
My springs had a smaller opening on one end, so I used a washer and scren to attach them. Here is an example of the springs: www.ebay.com/itm/196158638740?itmmeta=01HZZGRNS4XS1RM9HHWHJG5BXM&hash=item2dabf74a94:g:e~0AAOSwMfZljyh6&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0NF%2BMOTi1nGl980kv5mVfdHoy0M9Zc6ry2m6cq151kwF36%2BOTc652M4Wpv9c9yxJIaTsoxwqkbrqRVc2PvYzv3Sqm3D9Ak1GbYaYyVH%2By1Zx4IOg9ITusSkRVBiczoJ4PF%2BNzjbZxat1wipZH%2FSCB%2F7EZeJDKXgDi%2FmnYz4uCxA%2BNN3I%2FyZRGE7WvRgE8UqnfvWNzLiCGlFYXj2fSidQ1Dmf3vdpM5NsrpEOpQlCsFLRh0GkqX43B%2FMlUu9Vl%2F4QFVtBJWvef3O5VS%2BhQH0G7aQ%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR97c4vD_Yw
Thanks for the link!
Nice short video filled with quick information easy to process and answer questions for building one. Thank you
Just came across this. It looks like it works great and nothing better than a straight forward simple design. Nice job!
wonderful concept sir ! thumb up
Would love to see more of your creations or ideas or even a garage tour!
Genius!😊
Nice!
Holy cow I'm trying to sive lots of compost this is genius
I like to use compost for top dressing in my lawn mix it with a little bit of sand
How do you connect the compression springs?
The compression springs were smaller on one end, so I used a screw and large washer (like these: www.amazon.com/JZGRDN-Compression-283516-Compatible-Grasshopper/dp/B0CQ772TWD/ref=sr_1_19?crid=HMSDJPRQ743E&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.gAv-YVGKkGYxUTFYE5x0GDvqm27MYEpXP1Xbct2N9W9eCED9zJuUyCYaS4Y5dFX_fT0ppAGWk2HoiXE0VL-iZSglsFGy4bCv6ZI7VpSf0g55s4K3Yq0Xs8_zBxODqZ8YVnedFt0HTCYm-dEMKoSdf9JEoOQB2kVp20_utZlTnDH2hw7n3XFtT7bVJi_gjpEMYxgRvv67I0A4ZsXiCA2lpYeOYZqCkEhkMglZ9iWRwzA.8jHCGRrdr786gxjQbfUms85w4DQGEQf38LLZNqdHQI4&dib_tag=se&keywords=lawnmower+seat+compression+springs&qid=1711678818&sprefix=lawnmower+seat+compression+springs%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-19
This is a good design, much better than the guy selling plans for an over-built but under-engineered contraption that uses a reciprocating saw to shake the screen table back and forth.
Nice Work Russ, Thanks
of all the ideas ive been mulling over im going to go with this one for my gorilla cart. nice video
Great video and a great sifter. Thank you for sharing!!
Best video I've seen yet. I don't have a cart, but can still use your idea with this lightweight sifter that can "roam" around my 24'x16' raised garden bed. I can sieve reclaimed soil around the border (say a 4' swathe) and eject rocks, twigs directly into a wheelbarrow standing outside the bed. Inside the bed I will be re-sifting existing material which will produce gradually reducing loads of detritus. Again: Thank You; an award-winning idea.
Clever design and it stores neatly under your bed! Just like those old exercise machine ads. Nice work.
This is the best solution for the home DIY'er and I have looked at many sifting solutions. Yours is the most compact and convenient, not resulting in a pile to be moved again.
Will you build me one?
Brilliant!👍🏻🇨🇦
You don’t show it working efficiently. Probably because overall it doesn’t work all that great. It needs to shake not vibrate.
It actually works phenomenally. I’ve used it for four years now.
The vibration is correct, and it is the way commercial units are built and operated. The shaking tables are built by tinkerers on RUclips who are not experienced in landscape material processing and use reciprocating saws for actuators, etc.
You need more videos
I have seen dozens of designs and love what you did.
You have inspired me to make one on a larger scale. It will be a 2 stage system with larger springs. If it works out, I'll let you know.
Brilliant!
Awesome set up. Love it
I have seen a lot of videos about compost sifters and I think this is the best design for its simplicity. Congrats.
Great build and even I get follow your easy set-up. Thank you Don❤
Brilliant idea. Fantastic design. Exceptional work!
Old video but thank you. Gonna make a little bigger one for the backyard.
Well done sir!
This would awesome for worms. What a cool way of doing this. Nice and simple.
Nice job!
Possibly the simples vibration sifter I've seen.
Can you tell me what size (watts) vibrator you used? Thanks
100W
@@russlesinski2092Do you find you are leveraging the whole 100w or are you adjusting it with the rheostat?
@@logancohrs I use the rheostat a lot. I find that different speeds of vibration work better, depending on the density of the soil. So if I dumped an old flower pot of soil on to the screen, I would probably use a slower speed. I also found it helpful to clamp a board across the middle of the screen, so that clumps of soil will stay on the screen instead of rolling into my wheelbarrow.
Do you have a link to the extension springs you used on the upper portion of the screen? I have searched on Amazon and there are sooo many choices. I ordered one pair that looked like yours but they are way too stiff.....any help would be appreciated. Cheers, bob
I had them from an old porch swing. If you look up "Porch Swing Springs" on ebay, you'll find some, but they are more money than I would pay.
@@russlesinski2092 ok, thanks!
Genius!
You can also find vibrating motors on old hospital type beds with vibrating option
RUclips use your big brain algorithms
Excellent design, very cool!
5star thank you very much for sharing this
5star thank you very much for sharing this
Yup genius for sure love it👍
This was great! I love your design. I'm glad I saw it.
Great video, perfect length, clear, pleasant to watch. What a nice clean design!
Wow,this is great!Good job man!
Great work. Took it to the next level. Very clean.
this is beautiful. I am wanting to break up huge clumps of peat moss and have it all fluffy - this will do it. Thanks Russ. I subbed just incase you come up with any other helpful wisdom to post.
