As you are going through your old garden tools, what do you do with your old garden tools? Take your old tools and repurpose them into “new” garden items.
Rusty spades and hand tools can be reborn in new items for your garden. An old spade handle glued or screwed to an old hog pan creates a planter for your deck.
I seen someone remove the top off of an cable roller and made a clock out of old hand tools. Take shovels heads and make a plant stand or bird feeder.
Create a garden gate out of garden tools or make a trellis for the clematis to climb on. Then take that leaky hose can even make a nice wreath for your front door or garden shed.
Take those old tools, the rustier the better, and incorporate back into your garden.
