When spring has sprung is not the time to discover that your garden tools have, too. Spend a little time each fall checking your garden tools for things to fix and things to recycle (some tools are too inexpensive to bother repairing). You'll then have the entire winter to fix them.

How Does It Work?

Garden tools are all those implements that make it easier to grow flowers, vegetables, trees, and lawns. Garden tools include shovels, hoes, hoses, shears, and clippers. They help us dig and refill holes, eliminate weeds, water roses and radishes, prune trees and shrubs, trim grass, and much more.

What Can Go Wrong?

Handles break on shovels, hoes, and other tools. Hoses leak. Cutting and digging edges become dull. Tools get rusty. Handle grips become loose.
