Metal Riddle 8mm mesh

Meet the Metal Riddle 8mm mesh — a purpose-built sieve crafted for gardeners who demand reliability and results. With a 33 cm diameter at the top and a 30 cm base, this sturdy metal riddle is designed to sit securely over trays, tubs or raised beds, making seed dusting, soil grading, and compost refinement effortless.

Key features

• 8mm mesh precision — separates debris and clumps while allowing medium- to large-sized materials to pass, making it ideal for dressing seeds, removing oversized particles from seed flats, and producing a uniform potting mix.
• Metal ring at the base — reinforced construction ensures the mesh stays taut and resists sagging during vigorous sieving or repeated use.
• Stable, open design — the 33 cm top diameter gives you ample working area, while the 30 cm base provides a stable footprint on work surfaces.
• Versatile workflow — great for dusting seeds over trays, grading soil, sifting compost, and refining homemade potting mixes for seedlings.

Who benefits most

• Home gardeners and seed savers who value clean, consistent seedbeds.
• Greenhouse operators and hobby farmers who sift potting mix to remove lumpiness.
• DIY enthusiasts looking for a reliable sieve to improve soil texture before planting.

How to use

Place the Metal Riddle 8mm mesh over a tray or bucket. Add potting mix, compost, or soil, then gently shake or twist to encourage fines to pass through the mesh while larger materials stay on top. Use the sifted material as a smooth, ready-to-plant medium, and reserve the coarser fraction for aeration and drainage improvements.

Care and longevity

After use, wipe down to remove debris and allow to dry thoroughly. Store in a dry area to protect the metal ring and mesh from corrosion over time. Regular cleaning helps maintain consistent mesh size and performance.
