 Harvester Idea? - 2006/09/12 19:58 My wife gets afraid when I have an idea so I want to see what others think. I am thinking about trying to build a harvester by taking a small rubbermaid tub, cutting most of the bottom out and riveting some hardware cloth under it. It seems like it would be pretty simple and give something you could shake the castings thru. Any thoughts?

 Re:Harvester Idea? - 2006/10/13 19:26 I just used 1/4" hardware cloth. It suits my needs. You could use smaller screen. Susan Quinby-Honer
