Although it may be too early to start gardening, now’s the perfect time to get organized. Here are a few tips to you get your garden shed spring-ready.
Don’t save the cleaning for spring. De-cluttering the shed will make your life much easier come warmer weather.
• Get organized and find a place for all your tools, and throw out or donate those that no longer serve a purpose. There’s nothing more frustrating than looking for your trusty trowel and coming up empty-handed.
• Give it a good wash. Eliminate dust, dirt and mildew by washing down walls and floors with a good quality household cleaner. Consider natural solutions over detergents.
• Create storage solutions. Drill in simple hooks to hang large gardening tools and watering cans and hammer in a few thin nails for hanging small tools. Hammer in a nail and hang a bucket on it to store extra odds and ends.
• Keep an eye on the weather. Install a wall-mounted thermometer to monitor seasonal shifts, helping you determine when it’s time to plant or when it’s time to bid a sad farewell to the garden.
