fluffyknickers Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Can you sift the aubiose so the poo gets seperated from the aubiose? I remember years ago my grandad having a garden sieve thing - like a ring with wire in it he used for sifting stones from soil. Anyone do this?

Redwing Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Yes I do from time to time, its not practical for a big run though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Gosh that was quick! What do you use to sift it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Big garden seive £6 ish from a DIY store I once put a sheet of weldmesh over a wheel barrow and shovelled on Aubiose but that was too much like hard work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I do too....on occasions. I have a garden sieve that came free with my composter I also have a large cat litter scoop (in matching green ) that I sit in the WIR with, along with a trug and sift as I chat to the girls. They look at me as if to say "why is the hooooman collecting our poo!? She must like it, we will do lots more! " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend21 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I use an old pair of BBQ tongs to pick up the poo and rake the run, as the tongs run along it they hoe the auboise and the large clumps are easy to see i an now an expert at it now Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I don't think I could be bothered! I have a plastic rake type thingy that I 'aereate' it with occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 My grils kick it all up to the other end of the run, so I sometimes rake it back down to the front again, but life's to short to sieve it. As soon as it looks manky, I haul it out onto the compost heap and put more in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
