Tips for Pruning: You probably do a really good job putting away your tools between seasons and oil your blades so
that they do not rust. Be sure to clean pruners between shrubs especially if you have a fungus problem or you will be spreading the disease. Rubbing alcohol does a great job and is inexpensive.
*Also be sure to keep those blades sharp so you don't damage the plant when you make your cuts.

I've heard tea also helps remove rust from garden tools. We just published an article today with 48 other uses for tea: http://www.networx.com/article/49-uses-for-tea
