I use a 5 gallon bucket with a tool apron on it to carry my things around the garden. All my most used tools are in the pockets and the interior of the bucket can carry whatever is needed-my irrigation tackle box and a roll of line, empty pots after planting back to the barn, my water bottle, etc. I’ve really found this to be an invaluable set up for me.
That is interesting, think I’ll try that.
I have a large plastic tote with all things fasteners - clothespins, clips, Velcro tape, twine, panty hose scraps, bamboo stake rubber tops, and scissors. I grab the tote when I do my routine staking, twining, etc. I save those large spice containers from BJs for things I shake like milky spore, kaolin clay, diatomaceous earth. I keep all my small hand tools in a cloth tote with lots of pockets that I bought from Target two years ago. I also have a gallon ziplock bag full of washable garden gloves. Since I help my husband with our landscape business, I use this for work too. I have a little drawstring bag we got from who knows what that I stuff leaf bags into. At home, I use one of those round collapsible garden debris holders, which I love, but sometimes I have to dispose of things at the curb so I use bags. Once spring hits, I place my measuring spoons and long paint sticks which I use as stirrers on top of my rain barrels. I keep watering cans and five gallon buckets near each one, so when I grab my fertilizers, my tools are already at the rain barrels. I garden a lot in containers, so I find I need to supplement.
That lazy susan thing for small tool storage is just what I didn’t know I needed! Thanks for sharing!
We use Dollar Tree wire mesh garbage cans for cheap cloches for small plants. They stack up and store easily.
We store netting and row cover in large plastic totes with wheels for easy transport. Mice get in everything here, but at least the tote locks and is a little more resistant than a bag. They’re really destructive.
Old mixed nut containers or any other larger plastic food container with a screw on lid is what we use for transporting smaller amounts of granulated fertilizer. It’s also good for keeping small amounts of de-icer by the door during winter.
Great tips, especially the Dollar Tree mesh cans. I always thought cloches were expensive for what little they protected, but doing it that way would be perfect.

I had to smile-that's exactly what I do. I use the shakers from cheap parmesan cheese (don't judge) for deicer for the side steps and walkway. Thanks for the cloche idea, that's brilliant.
@@dianeladico1769 thanks! I can’t say it was original, but I also can’t remember where I heard this 🤦♀️🤷♀️
Great ideas. I use a larger plastic tote similar to the one you use for landscape staples. In one side I have trowels and weeding tools etc. and a couple pairs of garden gloves. In the other side I have 3 of the 750 ml yogurt containers. One has plant labels and markers. One has scissors, hand pruners and a small ball of twine. One has tomato clips and clothes pins which I sometimes use with my row covers to clip them down.
I also use large S hooks to hang items from the rafters in my shed.
Edit: I take the tote into the garden with me so I have what I need. It helps to save trips back and forth.
Solid ideas, thank you. I use a small 2-3 gal bucket to transport my supplies to the veg garden and another for harvesting. I'm forever setting down a small tool or gloves and wasting time looking for them or forgetting them entirely. Taking the bucket from bed to bed is easy and I'm losing less stuff.
I use a 5 gal bucket for larger bags of fertilizer and amendments, sealed with a Gamma lid. It keeps everything protected from moisture. I transfer smaller amounts to repurposed plastic jars for use and the larger bucket keeps it all contained.
I'm a "How can I use this again?" kind of gal. Repurposed plastic containers, i.e. ice cream buckets, nut/candy/salsa canisters (the plastic ones w/ a lid), etc. I figure I've already bought the container, so...🤷♀ Waste not, want not. Happy gardening. 🌱🌱🌱
I had a friend save all their 3 gal kitty litter buckets. They aren't as bulky as a 5 gal, they are square so go on the shelf without wasted space like round ones, they have lids and handles. I label them with a Sharpie marker on the side with no printing. Free and so convenient for everything, including carrying around.
The drip irrigation supply box is something you can buy at Home Depot. I’ll need to check what brand I have, but I got it at Home Depot. It has two sides that open so on one side I have the 1/4” size drip heads, barbs, etc and on the other side I have 1/2” pieces. It works great.
❤ the shoe rack organizer for seed packets 🎉😊
I have that same rolling cart, and got mine at TJ Maxx 3-4 years ago. I use it in the summer on my covered patio to grow potted herbs, and during the winter I side for miscellaneous plants. Love it!
What a coincidence; I was looking for row cover storage tips 2 days ago! I found on Rodale’s site that they use 10 ft x 1.5 in PVC tubes to roll them up and mark the size of the cover on the end of the tube. I do like the ziplock idea but I lack shelf space so think the tubes will work better for me. Thanks for sharing all the great ideas. This isn’t a topic I’ve seen before on gardening channels and I think it’s sorely needed!
I like the over the door seed organizing idea!
Wow, who knew Ziploc made those huge bags! Great find 👍❤️
I know!! I had a few extras and used one for Christmas wrapping paper and larger Christmas decor, too. So many ways to use!
I read somewhere about this: Designate a bucket for a tool cleaner. Fill it with small rocks, old marbles or bearings and pour old or gently used motor oil into the bucket. After you used a shovel, how, trowel etc dip it in the rocks and it's cleaned and oiled at the same time.
Love the organisation ideas you've shared, especially the trolley.
I am using 2 carry bins, one has everything I need when I'm transplanting, harvesting or light pruning, and the other one has scissors, pruners and string, which is useful for maintenence of vining plants. Gloves, secetears and everything I need is in each of the bins, so I can grab and go. 😊
Excellent ideas
Best organizing video I’ve seen yet.
If I had a grow room, I’d totally use that shoe organizer! Today I bought a shallow plastic bin from Target that holds two rows of seeds. I had a sturdy cardboard box and used packing tape to attach a cardboard divider down the middle. Then I used the cardboard to cut dividers for my categories. This is just for seeds I’m sowing this year. The rest of my seeds are stored in photo boxes - flowers, herbs, warm season, and two cool season boxes with index card dividers.
Oh I could see lots of uses for the handheld bin! Seems like I was always going out to the garden and forgetting something and having to go back to the shed so just keeping it all in there and carrying it with you would be excellent 🎉
Greattips,Jill.Thanks
Regardless of the container, the secret of any organization system is putting items away after use. "I'll put it away later" won't work 😕
You are spot on. I've got to get better at that!
New to your channel and great video
The shoe/seed organizer was pretty clutch. I'll definitely be using that one.
So far I'm loving it! I can't take credit though. Jen from Garden Girls shared that tip with me on my podcast last year.
❤awesome advise, thank you!
Great tips!
Great ideas, I love organization, it's on my New Year's resolution to tidy up my shed too!
Simple and great ideas! Thank you for this! I'd love to know where your husband found that design for the box! I'd love to make a box like that myself!
great ideas. thank you. I also got a big kick out of the sunglasses on your roller shelf in the green house and then also on the top shelf unit in the shed. so much fun and sun.
Haha! Great eye! Gotta have a few of those handy. :)
I love your greenhouse. Is it a kit?
Thank you. No, it’s from Yoderbilt.
What are those metal things for your hoops? How can I buy those? Thank you!
If you're talking about the hoops themselves, I talk about those in this video: czcams.com/video/8B1BzMSNCkA/video.html I got them from Gardener's Supply online.
I have a small garden & don’t use all of my seeds in one season. How long can I store them?
It varies. Alliums are only good for one year, beans can be fine for a few years. It also depends on storage conditions. Search for a seed viability chart.
@@dianeladico1769 thx
High Mowing Seeds has a good seed viability chart on their website.
@@sandram5664 Thx. I’ll check it out.😎
Just need to put seeds in a dark cool place. The photo bins are great to take to the garden if you have a small garden. If you use the shoe hanger method you can wear a garden apron that has pockets you can put your seeds in when planting. Blessings
Did Dollar Tree go up in price to $1.50? Great ideas! You make me think of The Minimal Mom CZcams. A place for everything and contained with like items.+
$1.25 on most everything, $1.50 for some things
Yeah I think it went up a little depending on the item.
I believe it depends on where you live. In general, they went up to $1.25. However, I noticed on the West Coast that they include items up to $1.50.
@@mariafolch8067 Depends on the item where I am.
Most of your organizing tips were great. But I don't have an inside place to put all mine. So most of those will not work for me
