Garden storage areas are often overlooked in terms of hygiene, and it's a huge mistake, because this place can affect the overall health of your garden.
While you don't have to clean it as often as you clean your house, you still need to sanitize it from time to time to maintain it well.
Here are a few tips on how often you should do it.
It's a good idea to clean your garden storage at least once a season (spring, summer, fall, and winter). This helps keep it free from dirt, dust, and pests.
If you've used your gardening tools and they're covered in soil or plant residue, it's a good time to clean and sanitize the storage area afterward.
If you notice any signs of pests like insects or rodents in your storage, clean and sanitize it right away to prevent them from spreading.
Before winter comes, it's a good idea to clean and store your gardening equipment properly to protect it from the cold and moisture.
Even if you don't keep your harvest in your garden storage area, it still requires your attention and good maintenance.
The quality and longevity of your garden equipment matters, so don't let your tools rot!
