| Your garden may be about ready for a long winter's nap, but your work isn't done. A little attention each fall will give you years of good service from garden tools and hand tools. It's hard to know when to call the gardening season quits in some parts of the country. But when you do finally give it up for the winter, prepare your tools by giving them a thorough cleaning. Those steel-wool, barbecue-grill scrubbing pads are great for removing caked-on soil from hammer,plier,floral tools,fork and spade. Scrub the blades and handles with soap and water. Allow them to dry completely before storing. Rub a little linseed oil or a similar protector over wood handles to keep the wood from drying and splitting. While you're at it, sharpen your tools(hand tools or garden tools) now for a quick start next spring. Drain water from garden hoses and sprinklers, and hang them to dry before coiling the hoses for storage(garden tools). Replace washers and repair leaks. Hoses left outdoors during the winter could crack and split, especially if they still have water inside. Rinse and dry your fertilizer/pesticide spreader, and oil all moving parts. Rinse sprayers and allow them to drip dry before storing. The best way to dispose of unused chemicals in the sprayer is to apply the product as directed on the label. Store unused pesticides in their original containers with the label intact. Place all pesticides away from children and pets, either in a locked cabinet or on a shelf at least four feet off the ground. Protect pesticides from freezing temperatures and excessive heat.
