Default How to washing tonnes of muddy gravel?


MrWeld wrote in message ...
A relative has about 80mē of gravelled areas around their house. Over the
years, the gravel has become very muddy, and is now coverered with weeds.

Is there a cost effective way of washing gravel? I've tried putting it in
a handheld steel sieve sloshing it around in wheelbarrow of water, but
that was very slow, and generated large quantities of muddy water.

I suppose I could just put a membrane on top of it, followed by more
gravel, but I'd like to re-use the existing stuff.


Stick in a heap and run a hose over it.
