Tips for Hardy Gardeners: Fall Clean-up

The year is growing old. Autumn is passing its peak leaf color, and the gardens have provided just about all they can.

Time to clean up.

Gardeners need to be constantly looking ahead, and tending to tools after a long summer of use is a good way to ensure the longevity of one of your most helpful assets throughout the gardening season. Oiling handles and sharpening edges on a regular basis will help to get decades of quality use out of your tools.

A little bit of TLC now will lead to a lot of self-gratitude when the springtime rolls around, and all of your gardening instruments are as ready to go as you are.

You can hear Tips for Hardy Gardeners every other Tuesday at 8:20am on Northland Morning.
