Any gardener knows that having clean, ready-to-use gardening tools is essential. But cleaning your equipment of filth and grime isn’t always simple. To begin with this gardening tip, locate a small pot or bucket. Tip the clean sand into the pot or pail.

For your tools, use mineral oil and a pot of sand (@family_handyman or Pinterest).
Put the instruments you use the most in the sand. While you work, the sand will keep them standing and make them convenient to grasp. When the day is over, return the tools to the sand after giving them a quick coat of mineral oil. In addition to keeping your gardening equipment clean, the sand and mineral oil mixture prevents dulling.
