you know the if you ask me nothin looks like dirt than dirt!
and the other day i when out in to the busch and got some dirt and brought it home to sift it with the mesh form my window frame and i figured that wasnt doin anythin to help so i lloked in my garage and found a old speaker cover and i decided to try it and i was so impressed with the fine turf it made and i just felt like passin on the word!!!

PS theis process of sifting takes a log time! [:)]

Great tip duckman. Another thing you could try would be a flour sifter. The screen in that would probably be finer that a window screen and would give you better results.
