When you're preoccupied with keeping on top of plant care, it can be easy to forget to also give your gardening tools some attention. It's inevitable your tools will show some signs of wear after lots of use, so looking after them properly is important for their longevity.
Storing your essential gardening tools away is important for maintaining their condition, but you also need to know how to look after specific tools. Cleaning pruning shears after every use, for example, will keep them looking new and prevent the spread of potential pests and diseases between plants. However, this isn't enough to keep your shears in pristine condition.
