Abstract:
1. A garden screening device for sifting and separating unwanted soil debris material from valuable soil material, comprising: a movable carriage assembly having a pair of wheels providing for the movement of the carriage assembly on the ground surface; a triangular-shaped framework mounted to the carriage assembly and extending upwardly therefrom; a screening drum pivotally mounted to the framework so that the screening drum can pivot 180 degrees between a material screening position and a material dump position; the screening drum capable of rotation on the framework for sifting and screening valuable soil material from debris material; a soil slide mounted on the framework adjacent the material screening position of the screening drum; means to selectively rotate the screening drum so that valuable soil material is sifted and separated from debris material; a manually operable handle interconnected to the screening drum for selectively pivoting the screening drum between the material screening position and the material dump position; and rotation of the screening drum when the screening drum is in the material screening position sifts and separates the valuable soil material from the debris material so that the valuable soil material passes through the screening drum and falls onto the slide for conveyance down the slide and collection on the ground while the debris material is contained within the screening drum, and manually pivoting the screening drum to the dump position allows for the dumping of the debris material on the ground at a location that is separate from the location of the valuable soil material.
