How I built a dirt soil sifting jig to screen rocks from the dirt and soil of an old garden to help make yard work easier. Our plan is to repurpose the old rocks into a smaller area by our house by our deck. Removing the rocks will also make it easier for me to mow my lawn with my Cub Cadet XT2 riding lawn mower.

Awesome video. Glad I found this. I’ve been wanting to clean up my yard but still keep my gravel (the gravel is small in size and has been mixed with dirt and debris from over the years) 😎

Great work Craig! The best design I’ve seen - the wide crossbar and long handles make so much sense vs. the typical square shape. Thanks for sharing - will be building something similar 😎

That looks great 👍🏻 and exactly what I need to separate some rocks from my dirt as well! Can you send me some dimensions for the wood cuts?

In regards to your title. Is this a shifter? Or a sifter?
