Since you have started something that you cannot now stop, which is the garden growing, you have now collected probably all the tools that you may ever need. From the self mulching mower to the most used garden hand tool, and the tiny little garden rake, they all need storage somewhere.

They cannot just lie around randomly until you need them. They will only last as long as you look after them. To keep your tools in good condition you need the proper garden tool storage place for them. You leave them in the rain, they rust, you leave them in the sun the paints peel off, either way it has to be in a dry and clean tool area.

Your most used garden hand tool would be the ones that still seem to be floating around the garden the most. The shovels and picks are packed away till you change your gardening ideas. Your mower is packed away for an average of two weeks at a time, but the garden hand tool is the one that lays ready to be used as you walk past those pots just to scratch the soil up a bit and to make sure you are still loving your plants daily.

Abuse And Care Of Tools

Just because your favorite garden hand tool is the one that doesn't seem to get any rest does not mean it does not need to be kept clean and in good condition. It does too. If you leave the little spade in the moist soil it will rust there too. Rather leave it on a space where it is still dry, if not a little toolbox with them in, one that can store not only this abused garden hand tool, but all the other tiny ones too.

In your tiny tool box, every garden hand tool should be in there, with a lightly oiled cloth to clean them and to keep the rust at bay. And if ever one of your small tools break, replace them as soon as possible as you will only get frustrated the next time you need it and it is not there.

Gardening does not need to be a laborious and tedious task. Take pride and accept the pleasures that come with nurturing your very own plants. Talk to them, and they will bloom more. Prune the roses regularly, or shake the slightly wilted blossoms regularly and they will bloom abundantly. Love them and they will love you back in blooms.
