Before you get too involved in gardening this season, be sure you take a few moments to clean your tools. From shovels to pruning shears every tool you plan to use in your garden should undergo a good clean. Not only will it allow you to inspect each tool to ensure it’s in good condition, but it will also help remove any soil that might have a disease or fungus embedded in it. Proper cleaning will also ensure tools last longer. Theoretically, you should be cleaning your tools after each use and especially before and after storing them for the winter. After washing away large chunks of soil with a garden hose,

scrape off any stuck-on bits and then place the tool in a bucket full of water and dishwashing soap. After soaking for a bit, residual dirt and debris should be easy to wash away. Then, rinse with cold water and dry with a cloth so lingering moisture doesn’t lead to rust. If you do find rust on your tools, use a wire brush or steel wool to remove it before using the tool again. You may also want to disinfect tools if they’ve been used to prune a plant with fungus or insect infestation. Soak the tools in a mixture of bleach and water for about 10 minutes and then rinse and dry.
