Tool Tips

A rundown of things you may want to know about different types of tools

Tool Maintenance

Rusty Tools

Tools starting to get rusty from storing in damp basement or garage? To save your investment place several strips of ordinary chalk in your tool box, or container. The chalk will absorb the moisture and keep everything rust free.

Clean Tools

Dirty tools soon loose their edge and often rust. A quick wiping with an oiled rag is sufficient to clean them. NEVER use soap and water!!

Tool Cleanup In The Fall

Time to inspect our metal gardening tools before hanging up for the winter months. Brush off any soil on the blades and examine the wooden handles for splintering or cracking. Sand and revarnish the handles to prevent the wood from any further drying.

To help metal parts from becoming rusty lightly spray with silicone or just oil them.
