April Organizing Tip
If you are a gardening enthusiast then it’s time to get you organized for doing some yard work. The first step is to evaluate your current tools. Yes, this may take an hour or so, but it will save you time and money in the end. Check to make sure that they are clean and in proper working order. Tools that have been unused since last spring need to be donated to someone who can use them. Tools that are in disrepair need to be fixed or tossed. If you have duplicates, consider giving them to someone who might use them. After all, we don’t want any tools to feel neglected. Only purchase a new tool if you have thrown out one in disrepair.
This year can be your best and most organized year yet with just a little bit of effort!
The second step is to determine how often and for what purpose you employ your gardening utensils. If you use small tools on a flower bed every weekend you will have very different needs from someone who only trims hedges periodically. Create an area that has all of your gardening supplies, not just tools. It might be a basement, garage, utility room, corner of a deck, or another available space. Make frequently used items more accessible than those used only occasionally. If you have children, please remember to store sharp tools and pesticides safely.
Consider annual gardening supply organizing as a way to make gardening more enjoyable.
