Frugal Gardener's Garden Tote
by Leslie Sausage
Here's one of my favorite frugal gardening tips.
Make a Garden Tote!
You'll be much more likely to tackle the daily garden chores if your ready to go with all your tools.
You'll need two plastic buckets. These can usually be found for free or for a minimal cost at the local donut shop or bakery.
I use one of the 2-gallon plastic buckets for storing my hand tools.
Inside my bucket, I keep my trowel, a small hand rake, a large spoon, a pair of garden shears, a pair of garden gloves, my kneeling pad plus a few plastic grocery bags for pulling weeds or for gathering the harvest.
A 5-gallon plastic bucket is great for collecting weeds in the garden. When the bucket is full, transfer the weeds to the compost pile.
If you have an old piece of garden hose, cut off two small sections, slit the hose lengthwise and slip it around the thin, metal handles on you buckets to make them more comfortable to carry.
Need to take a break? Flip the 5-gallon bucket upside down and use it for a chair.
Now when you're done gardening for the day...put away your Garden Tote by storing the 2-gallon bucket inside the 5-gallon bucket.
