Our yard is very rocky due to the fact that our whole town is a filled-in swamp.
So, as I weed incessantly in a small, shady area the size of a master bedroom, I have been sifting small mounds of soil, etc, through a woven basket and also now a cooking strainer (not a colander for pasta, a real metal strainer).
How do I sort the rest out?
Thinking of using a big basin, adding water, and letting roots float.
Anything easier?
BTW we just spent more than $10,000 on fixing a major problem, and there was supposed to be enough topsoil to fill this but there isn't.
My time means less of his money, you see, so no, we won't be buying anymore topsoil this year.
