TOP 6 important recommendations for organizing garden tools
For a true gardener, having a good harvest in the garden is not enough. Moreover, it is almost impossible to get a high-quality harvest without good garden tools. Indeed, it is difficult to dig out several buckets of potatoes if your shovel breaks after each bush.
But it's not always about the quality of garden tools. Often the owners themselves turn even the best new tool into a useless stick gathering dust in their country house.
Below are a few important tips and tricks to keep your garden tools safe for years to come.
To start it is necessary to organize a summer cottage for storage Of your tools. The inventory should not lie on the street around the clock, as this deteriorates its quality noticeably, and there is a high probability of tripping over them, or even getting hurt.
The room for storing inventory does not have to be large (otherwise all your shovels will lie scattered on the floor, and not neatly stand at the wall, without interfering with the summer resident's passage). The most important condition for a garden closet is a dry space. If the room is too humid, chances are high that your tools will start to rust soon.
It is also worth considering how and with what will your room be illuminated... It is very unsafe to hold in your hand only a small flashlight to look for the necessary tool almost by touch.
Nowadays, the introduction of various innovations into the markets, you can easily purchase special holders for garden tools... They are arranged in such a way that each shovel or rake can be placed separately from each other, while close to each other, saving space, which is never enough for any summer resident. The design of the holder is quite simple, so you can build it yourself.
The only thing to consider when placing the holder is that if you install it in the middle of the wall, there is a high probability of bumping into a pitchfork or a sharp rake, since they will be approximately at face level. The best solution would be to place the holder in the very corner.
In addition to large garden tools, there are quite a lot of small ones, such as various pruning shears scoops and brooms. A special bucket can be adapted for them., also small in size. You can hang pockets on the wall (they are also purchased in hardware stores or sewn themselves by stripping pockets from old jackets or jeans). Garden gloves and rulers fit perfectly.
An interesting idea is to use the rake itself as a holder for small garden tools. Since it is on the principle of a rake and a pitchfork that a huge number of holders are made.
It is better to place the saws on the walls.... Moreover, on their handles, special holes are most often already provided, for which they can be hung.
Garden hoses are usually sold pre-wound on a special drum. However, if you've just recently decided to tidy up your gardening tools, and have had your hose for years, you can purchase a wall mount. It looks like a rounded shelf, and the hose wraps around it perfectly, saving floor space.
True, there is one caveat here: cunning manufacturers of holders make them in such a way that in size and shape they can only fit their own products, and all your garden tools simply simply will not fit these holders if they were not, by a lucky chance, made by the same manufacturer.
The most important thing to remember ... No matter how long you pick up the holders, no matter how long you spend lighting in the closet, and no matter how carefully you clean up the garden tools that have accumulated over the years, all your efforts will turn out to be meaningless if you take a couple with you directly to the site tools, you will not return them to the places they were just used. This threatens that in a couple of days all your efforts to improve and organize order and comfort in the closet will become invisible.
