FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this garden riddle?

Its primary purpose is to sift soil, removing stones, roots, and other debris to create a finer, more workable medium for planting.

The riddle has 10mm square base plate holes.

What material is the riddle made from?

It is made from chrome-plated steel.

What is the diameter of the riddle?

The diameter of the riddle is 330mm.

How should I clean the garden riddle?

Brush off excess soil and, if necessary, wash with water and mild detergent. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The riddle comes with a 10-year guarantee.

Can this riddle be used for very fine sifting?

With 10mm holes, it is best suited for removing larger debris rather than very fine separation. For finer sifting, a riddle with smaller mesh would be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Soil not sifting through effectively

Ensure the soil is relatively dry. Wet or compacted soil can clog the mesh. Gently tap the riddle to help dislodge material.

Riddle appears to be rusting

Wipe the riddle dry immediately after use and store it in a dry location. Minor surface rust can often be removed with a soft cloth and mild abrasive cleaner, followed by drying.

Debris larger than 10mm is passing through

This is expected behavior as the riddle is designed to remove stones and debris *larger* than the 10mm holes. It separates finer soil from larger contaminants.

  • Robust and durable steel construction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The riddle is designed for use with soil, compost, and other garden materials. It is compatible with standard wheelbarrows and tarpaulins for ease of use.

Care: To maintain the riddle's condition and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, brush off any clinging soil or debris.
  2. Washing: If necessary, wash with water and a mild detergent. Ensure the riddle is completely dry before storing.
