Use a tool rack

A tool rack is a real savior when it comes to storing gardening tools. You can both buy them or make them. The latter doesn’t require any special knowledge or experience, so everyone can give it a try.

Store your garden tools in cardboard tubes

Cardboard tubes are perfect for storing long-handled tools, such as rakes, shovels, spades, etc. Usually, you would place them in a shed, but you can put them in the basement or wherever you find convenient. The same goes for a tool rack. If you do have it, and since you’re upgrading it, consider making a shed eco-friendly as well. Why wouldn’t you?

How to store smaller garden tools then?

It makes sense that hand forks or secateurs won’t go into cardboard tubes. Otherwise, taking them out wouldn’t be possible. What you need to do is organize garden tools according to their size. You should hang small garden tools or put them into a bucket. In any case, they are not as problematic as those with long handles. Nevertheless, here are some ideas on where to hold them:

  • an old mailbox right next door that no one uses
  • make use of pallets
  • get potting bench
  • an old rake can help
