WD40 Easy Lubrication in the Garden

A simple Garden Product but one I would not be without. WD40 has many uses and I always have a can to hand.

I keep my hedge trimmers and electric clippers in an old wardrobe in the garage. Before they were put away for winter I sprayed the blades with WD 40. This acts as a cleaner of the sap build-up on the blades and a rust inhibitor.

I try to spray my tools regularly. I tried a sand bucket containing oil but found it a bit dirty and I seldom used it. As with many garden tasks it would be better if I developed a regular habit and modus operandi. WD 40 is an easy way around oiling and cleaning and gardening is hard enough so I try take easy but effective short cuts.

WD 40 is also useful for easing hinges on garden gates oiling the wheel barrow and odd jobs where an oil can isn’t close to hand.
