Great Tool Cleaning Tip!

With most of us looking forward to getting out there and digging, this is a great time to give some thought to getting our spades and cultivators in top shape for the beginning of the season. This can be done periodically to maintain them throughout the season, as well.

Just add a little used motor oil to a bucket of sand. When finished using any garden tool; plunge the tool into the sand several times. The oily/abrasive sand will scour and oil your tool’s working edges. An oiled surface will prevent normal oxidation (rusting) of your garden tools.
