This shows the soil prior to screening. Notice the large clumps...a real problem for the screening process. We're experimenting with different methods of breaking it down so that we get more out of the screening. One thing we tried that did not work was mixing the soil in a bucket with water and then letting it dry a few days. The resulting mix was so hard that it clearly wasn't what we were hoping for. From this station the soil goes to the screening, right now being carried in 5 gallon buckets. I bought a wheelbarrow yesterday but as yet the buckets have been preferable.
