Sifting compost removes clumps of matter that have not completely decomposed. In these piles, sifting can help separate finished compost from newer material. Sifting removes sizable rocks, trash, and lumps of clay which may be in your pile. For those of us who dump donated bags of yard waste into our bin, sifting is important. Otherwise, undesirable material may go out onto our lawns and gardens.
Sifted compost is a finer substance to work with and that makes it easier to spread.
