▸ Clean your tools regularly and particularly thoroughly before storing them for any length of time.

▸ Pay special attention to soil on the blades and handles, where it can set hard and cause discomfort, and sap or resin deposits on pruning tools, which can be hard to clean once dry.

▸ Collect up all tools and equipment at the end of each day: rain does them no good, and overlooked tools are easily lost or stolen.

▸ Lock them safely in your shed, in their usual places to save time searching.

▸ Give them a thorough service at the end of the season: clean, sharpen and oil parts as appropriate (see page 210).
