If you spend anytime outdoors, you know that it is essential to have quality equipment and supplies to make your gardening more successful. Unfortunately, many gardeners simply don’t have the best storage for their gardening tools. If your tools are not protected, then they could end up damaged or lost. This could result in a costly investment that you didn’t need. Luckily, there are several steps you can take to protect your garden tools so that they last for years to come.
“The weather changes and the longer the months the harder it is to work with your garden tools. As a result, you may need to rent a storage unit to store your tools when they aren’t in use.” -Kathleen C. from North Tonawanda, New York
“I really like to have at least two different styles of storage for my garden equipment. I have a large tool cabinet that I keep set up over the entire area in my garage and I have a smaller set-up in the basement of my house that I pull out when I need it. Using both types of storage has helped me save a lot of money.”
“I am fortunate enough to live in a rural area where we have plenty of walking trails that bring me into contact with my garden tools such as spades, forks and hoes. There are also many different types of walking footwear that I keep stored in drawers in my home. Keeping my gardening tools close to my house keeps them protected from animals and children.”
“We have a nice set-up in our yard that includes an attached garage as well. It allows us to easily get the garden equipment out for the summer and it also makes it easy for me to go out and get them when I feel like working in the garden during the colder months. If we don’t have a garage, we have a shed that we pull down when we’re not using it and store it when spring is here. Having everything stored this close to home also saves a lot of money.”
“Having the best storage for garden tools helps to ensure that you can get to them quickly if you need them. You never know when you’ll need a specific tool, especially if it’s been a while since you used it. Storing your gardening tools in the proper place and in the proper container will make it easier to find the tools you need and keep them organized for longer periods of time.” – Karen from Cedar Rapids, Iowa
“I purchased a set of hooks last year that I attach to each of my garden rows. These allow me to hang up the tools without having to leave the row. I purchased these mainly because I wanted something that would be attractive as well as functional. I am pleased with the way they look and the fact that they have held up well to my plants. They are very durable and look great.”
“I purchased a storage for gardening tools last year. It was very expensive but worth every penny. The tools are very important to gardening so I decided to put them in a shed for convenience. This storage has worked great for me. Now I can access them very quickly when I need them.”
“I have some tools such as a circular saw, an edger and planer. I put them all in a neat storage bin. I like the fact that it is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional. This bin is located under my dining room table. It has served me well. The tools are still in perfect shape.”
Many professionals recognize that good organization is important to the health and productivity of their employees. In fact, there is a new book out called “The 10 busiest items in your home,” written by homemaker Victoria Czaia. In this book, Czaia lists down her top 10 garden tools and how she organizes them. She provides a few creative ways to store garden tools such as hanging baskets, peg racks and other unique solutions. Organizing garden tools properly will help reduce clutter and increase work efficiency. When your garden tools are stored correctly, it will mean a longer and healthier workday for you.
If you are a homemaker who loves gardening, or you just simply don’t have enough storage space for all of your gardening equipment, then this may be a great solution for you. But, before doing anything, you should make sure that you have the proper tools for storage first. Once you have those, then you can start shopping around for a storage solution for your tools. You won’t regret it, and your house will look neater and more organized.
