♦Grab a big trash bag and walk around your yard right now.
Pick up every scrap of flyaway paper and whatever else has flown out of your
garbage can (or blown in from the neighbor's yard). Trash all those empty
fertilizer bags, seed packets and whatever else you meant to clear away after
that project but didn't do so.
♦Now walk around the entire house and yard again and collect
all rakes, shovels, wheelbarrows, empty flower pots and more. Put the garden
tools back in your garage or storage shed. A large trash can on wheels is ideal
for holding and transporting groups of long, tall tools. Or consider getting a
rolling garden tool organizer made just for this storage task.
♦Get a
four- or five-shelf metal shelving unit to hold everything else from unused
sprinklers to bags of bird seed. Put it in your garage or gardening shed.
♦Another
good storage spot for storing garden supplies such as flowerpots is a large
rectangular plastic storage chest or container. It could be a deck box or a
bench with storage beneath the seat. You can find a wide variation of these,
from inexpensive to expensive, in almost all type stores.
