Your favorite tool you got cheap.?

I specifically use hemp for sifting. Obviously something granular like sand or PDZ would be the easiest to sift, but I want something can break down in the compost container or in the run (I rake all coop bedding into the run litter during yearly clean ups).

I use sand, I’d like to try hemp!

I actually found a litter scooper that folds so that it can work standing or leaning over! I have used the putty knife approach as well. What kind of bedding do people use that sifts? My bedding goes into compost after and is pine. It doesn't go through any of the devices above.

I use the "mini " pine shavings.

on the clearance table was a kids 3 set of garden tools . A shovel, leaf rake and heavy yard rake. The shovel was broken so marked down to $1. Just the right size for the poop board.

I also found a mini scoop shovel at $tree for beach and can use it to scrape things to me, (till it breaks). I also found my small kids rake that's 3 feet long and use it to stir up smashed bedding.
