Clean Your Garden Tools

With a few cleaning items and some post-gardening diligence, it’s easy to take proper care of your garden tools so they last longer and work better. Be sure to clean your tools after each use and at the end of the gardening season. Remember, if you keep your rakes, hoes, and shears looking great they can pass the favor on to your garden.
Remove dirt. Use a stiff-bristled brush and water to clean your tools after each use. The brush will help remove any stubborn bits of dirt and soil from the metal parts of your tools. This is important because leftover wet soil will cause your tools to rust.
