The Difference a Sifter Makes

I borrowed a sifter from The Homemade Garden…

and MAN what a difference a sifter makes!

Before the sifter:

Bad Dirt

After the sifter:

Good Dirt

…you can clearly see the difference in the texture of the soil. Finer soil will allow plant roots to permeate much more easily than otherwise. I knew the soil was rocky, but didn’t realize how rocky. I’ll have to post the pic of all the pebbles that were left.
