| I bought a soil seive from a local nursery that has 2 sieves (mesh size -6mm and 12mm). 6mm is approximately 0.23inch, little less than 1/4th inch. Can I use this to sieve pine bark fines for gritty mix formula. For screening the fines from turface and gran-i-grit I will use insect screen. July 4th weekend plan is to do this wonderful screening job;) |

| If you use what passes the 12mm and doesn't pass the 6mm, your bark will probably be on the large side, but that will depend on whether the largest % of the bark particles tend to be concentrated nearer the 1/2" or 1/4" size range. 1/8" - 1/4" is ideal. Al |

| Pretty nifty - it would be the berries if they had a variety of mesh sizes available? Al |
