My main question is if the 1/2" mesh would provide adequate screening? (size wise) My plan is to make a framed screen with 2 legs so it can be set at an angle with a tarp under it. I can then toss shovel fulls of DL at it, and then haul the tarp of screened mulch away, or I can set the screen frame directly over my WB.LG, I had some leftover 1/2" hardware cloth and 2x4's from my building projects. I cut the boards so that they would sit on my wheelbarrow and screwed the cloth to the short sides. This gave me a rim to help hold in the compost as I sift it through the wire. It works great for me. I'll get you a pic of just the screen this evening when I get home from work.
