Traditional Wooden Riddle 7mm mesh

Rediscover a gardener’s staple with the Traditional Wooden Riddle featuring a precise 7mm mesh. Designed for dependable seed handling and clean soil screening, this timeless sieve brings consistent results to both home plots and professional nurseries.

Constructed from fumigated poplar timber, the frame is built to stay true through season after season. Its generous footprint—43 cm external diameter and 40 cm internal diameter—paired with a 9.5 cm height provides a stable, easy-to-handle surface for sifting over trays, beds, or open mulch. The 7 mm aperture balances efficiency and precision: it lets dust and fine particles fall away while retaining larger debris, making it ideal for dusting over seeds and preparing uniform substrates.

Key uses include:

• Dusting seeds with even coverage across seed trays for vegetables, herbs, and ornamentals.
• Screening potting mixes and compost to break up clumps and produce a smoother, more plant-friendly substrate.
• Grading soil to achieve consistent textures in nurseries or growing beds, improving germination outcomes and root development.
• Gentle seedling preparation where a lighter touch matters, thanks to a wooden frame that’s kinder to delicate seeds than metal alternatives.
• Efficient workflow in community plots, school gardens, or greenhouse operations where reliable, low-maintenance tools save time.

What makes this riddle stand out is its combination of traditional craftsmanship and practical sizing. The fumigated timber ensures a pest-free tool ready for heavy use, while the 7mm mesh delivers repeatable results without sacrificing seed integrity. This is not just a sieve—it’s a reliable partner for all stages of seed starting, soil preparation, and compost refinement.

Who benefits most: seed-starting enthusiasts, allotment gardeners, commercial nurseries, and anyone who values precise, repeatable sifting. It fits neatly into standard seed-tray setups and greenhouse layouts, making it a natural upgrade from improvised screening methods.

Care instructions are simple: keep the tool dry after use, wipe clean, and store in a dry space to preserve the timber’s integrity. Over time, the traditional wooden frame will weather gracefully, developing a patina that tells the story of seasons well spent screening soil and dusting seeds.
