Have you ever spent nearly as much time finding the right tools for a garden chore as you spent doing the chore itself? Frustrating, right?

Get your garden gear organized and save yourself time—not to mention a headache or two—with these tips:

Get rid of excess.
Get rid of everything you don't use, love, or need. If you can't bear to get rid of old tools, use them as garden art.

Find a home for everything.
Once you've parted with everything that's broken, unnecessary, or just plain trash, it's time to find a home for everything. As you plan where each thing should go, first ask yourself which tools you use most often. Those items need to be most accessible, while the things you use infrequently or annually can be stored farther away or up high in ceiling rafters.
