Garden DIY: Vibrating Compost Sifter and Living Wall Designs

A Reddit user upgraded a homemade compost sifter with a vibration motor, turning the process into a simple "dump and roll" operation. The modification added rigidity to the screen, allowing it to handle shaking without sagging. Community members praised the improvement, calling it "the best compost sifter" they had seen and sharing tips on sourcing and mounting vibration motors safely.

Landscape architects are promoting living walls as a vertical gardening solution that maximises space and adds year‑round texture. Designers such as Adam Shepherd of Tapestry Vertical Gardens and Adolfo Harrison of Adolfo Harrison Landscape Studio describe projects that blend plants like geraniums, fuchsias and Japanese maples with structural elements, creating striking green façades in locations such as East Dulwich, London. The designs focus on evergreen species, sustainable planting, and integration with water features and hardscape.
