Tools and Equipment

• A mousetrap attached to the wall of the tool shed can be a glove trap. Gloves hung there will dry quickly and can be easily found.

• Check hose connections, pipes, and valves for water leaks. Even a small dribble can waste hundreds of gallons of water in a day.

• Use an old, metal, tire rim for hanging your garden hose. Paint it the same color as your house or shed, and fasten it to the side of a building near the spigot.

• Go over all the coldframe sashes and greenhouse glazing, replace broken glass, putty, and repaint.

• If you do not have a coldframe, build one now.
