Poll Question
We need a simple solution to (i) sift compost, (ii) separate large chunks that are should go back in the composter, AND (iii) spread compost.
I found two options (videos below). Which do you like?
Option 1: Rotating Trommel
materials:
- bike parts
- mesh
- wood frame
- used belt
Collect the sifted compost below. Collect the large chunks at the end. Haul the sifted compost to location for spreading. I wonder if there’s a way to make it human powered (e.g. hand crank or bicycle gears)?
Option 2: Spreader
materials:
- bike parts
- mesh
- wheels
- frame that can be pulled
- used golf balls
Put the compost in. Pull the spreader. It sifts when it spreads. Modify the wheels so that the bin doesn’t rotate.
