Hence my quick selection of ways to hang up your garden tools from a range of photographer-gardeners.<\/p>\n<p>The DIY model has much to commend it. You can tailor to fit your shed, garage or work space. You can vary height and inter tool spacing and use your own design flair.<br \/>\nI like the string through the handle method rather than the nail in the wall style.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Gardening Tools, Chandos Lake, 2009-07-19 by Open Texture, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/opentexture\/3770081832\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2647\/3770081832_d58291c560.jpg\" alt=\"Gardening Tools, Chandos Lake, 2009-07-19\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Well stored tools should not be damaged as easily as those thrown into a box or drawer at random.<br \/>\nIt is easier to see which tools need oiling, cleaning, sharpening or repairing.<br \/>\nUnfortunately it looks like someone has hung up their garden tools and left them to the spiders and their webs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Credits <\/strong><br \/>\nTools Of The Trade by Barefoot In Florida CC BY 2.0<br \/>\nGardening Tools, Chandos Lake, 2009-07-19 by Open Texture CC BY-NC-SA 2.0<br \/>\ntool rack by robotson CC BY-NC 2.0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gardenerstips.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/harlow-carr-2011-0061.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"harlow carr 2011 006\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-14765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardenerstips.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/harlow-carr-2011-0061.jpg 640w, https:\/\/gardenerstips.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/harlow-carr-2011-0061-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gardenerstips.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/harlow-carr-2011-0061-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hang onto your best garden implements and look after them properly.
