Hmm, I try to get rid of anything that passes through a 1/4" screen. But that's only about one year's experience, and last year I did add some commerical mix that added fines, and probably did not do a totally through cut with the 1/4" screen.

I would defer to Al's greater experience and analysis!

But I WISH I had some 3/8" screen, or 3-per-inch mesh.

Using the 1" chicken wire is rare for me, but I was chopping green juniper boughs with a lawn mower before adding them to the compost heap, and did a quick cut to pull out what needed the most extra chopping.
