Garden supplies do not have to become annual purchases. A little cleaning, smart storage, and timely maintenance can keep tools, containers, hoses, stakes, and other hardworking gear ready for another round instead of sending them to the trash.

There is nothing charming about discovering a cracked hose, rusty pruner, or mystery tangle of twine when planting season arrives. A few habits now can turn that future headache into a box of dependable supplies waiting in the wings.
