It’s almost official—spring has sprung! That means
it’s time for the annual rite of spring-cleaning. So make a
plan to get organized this weekend. And since gardening season is upon us, why
not start your clutter-busting in the shed?
Begin by emptying the shed and sorting
through all of the stuff you’ve accumulated. Then decide what items should
stay, keeping in mind that a shed should be home to tools and equipment you use
for the lawn and garden. Don’t clutter it up with any stuff that doesn’t fit
in.
The last step in your de-cluttering mission
is to store everything so it’s easy to find and protected from dirt, dampness,
and pests. But before you rush out to buy fancy storage containers for your
supplies, check out your home. There’s a good chance that things that are
cluttering up your kitchen, attic, or home office can help you stay organized
and clutter-free in the shed. Consider these possibilities:
ü Plastic
sweater and shoe boxes—keep seed packets and gardening gloves clean and dry.
ü Standing
file holders—great for storing seed catalogs and garden magazines close at
hand.
ü Magnetic
knife rack—perfect for holding trowels, hand rakes, dibbles, and other small
metallic tools on a shed wall.
ü Hanging
shoe bag—fill the pouches with twist ties, balls of twine, spray bottles, and
other small stuff that can quickly turn into a cluttered mess.
ü Ziplock
plastic bags—stash seed packets, plant labels, and planting instructions in
‘em, then hang them with a binder clip on nails.
