I'm looking to use this for yerba mate' which has a very fine silt quality - will this keep that silt from escaping?

I don't know what Yerba mate is but I can tell you that the mesh of this item is very fine, much finer than other tea strainers that I have used in the past. This one can be used with rooibos tea which is very fine and tends to get into your cup with other strainers.

If you have a clay type soil (this doesn't work in sand or rocky soil) a hole larger than about 8 inches (which this ends up being) is more or less counter-productive...you don't want dug up (loosened) soil around your post. I loaned my out and can't get it back!

I actually periodically wet outs to keep the composting going at a satisfactory rate (though, undoubtedly this is needed because I live in Southern California) as water/moisture escapes very easily via the many holes. We missed our usual heavy-to-torrential spring rains here (drought!) so I can't say what would happen under those conditions, but I seriously doubt you would have any issues. The bottom is open (it is a roll of material) and the sides are very well perforated.

this is what I am using one for. my filter backwashes at 10GPM and seems to work without backing up. depends on the size of your softener and what type of soil you have.

If you think bugs will not burrow through this you would be incorrect. You can use any non organic topping for bug stoppage, but I believe it would be better to use bug screen just below the dirt. Decorative rock may look better on top then this.

It could help, I've used mine in a small green house I made to help keep the soil temperature up, it does not keep too much moisture it stays dry enough to grow in. I'm sure this would work another option is call a vapor barrier that would help water proofing with out the insulation it is often used in home and basements to keep mold from growing. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't recommend it, It's meant for medium rock salt, it has little holes on the bottom to take in the air when you use it, So I think with the fine salt it would then be a salt shaker instead of what it's intended for.It comes with a small bag of rock salt. use about half of it. it lasts for a few months...

I have used the spreader twice w/o any issues whatsoever. I did not notice any trapped material. I would purchase the exact same spreader again.

The roots do find their way through. But I myself like to rip the bottom off. I like to help.I do bury the fibre into the soil. Compost! ;)

I suggest avoiding stones of any size in the spreader. Pea gravel might fall through, but the goal is to only place soft organic matter in the spreader.

Yes it is. I myself use it in planters, inside and the PH leve is perfect and good draining soil. And the perfect thing about it is that you don't have to worry about snags with this soil. I highly recommend this soil it's the only one I use for all my indoor plants, PS good luck it's that time of the yaer&#127803;&#127802;&#127808;&#127800;

Yes it is, buttttt - this little machine is only good for very, very loose soil. I have the same 40' x 40' garden spot for 37 years and small stones seem to "grow". I will never get rid of them and this little machince bounces around like a rubber ball.

Yuca, I think, has the same dense ness as a potato. It should grate it perfectly. A plantain my be too soft? Unless you grate it before it gets ripe?

Yes, After plenty of research this was the brand to buy. Just prepare a flat area with plenty of drainage. Could be a two man job with interlocking wood. Fill with a good dirt and your ready to go! I have five in my garden. I also prep my soil a year before.

The mesh is extra fine so I don't think you will have any issues with lemon grass escaping in the tea. I have not had any issues with bits floating from seeping through the mesh yet and I have tried a few different teas since getting this.

The food mill I got has three "sieves" with it but I feel you would need something a bit different because raspberry seeds are very small. I would contact the manufacturer before buying this if that's what you want it mainly for. I'm sorry I can't give a definite answer but my guess is it may not.

It does go thru the sandy soil but it looses it as you pull it out of the hole. So sometimes you do not get a full load. Maybe if you wet it. It would stick together better.
