25. Tool maintenance

Of course, we all know the saying “a bad worker blames his tools”. So here’s some good advice for maintaining your gardening tools.

To not look like an incompetent who blames your tools, make sure they are always in the best condition by keeping them the right way. The best way to store your tools is to store them in a bucket of sand. Yes, you read it correctly! Keeping them submerged in sand will prevent them from drying or rusting. Whenever you use your tools, spray them with a little mineral water before putting them back in the sand. They will stay clean and efficient for centuries!
