 What is It

By the end of the garden season, most of us simply put out garden
tools, such as hoes, shovels, trowels, and pruning shears, away for the
season without even looking at them. The next spring, when we are in a
hurry to get started with yard and garden work, we find them dull and
crusted with soil, which makes pruning and digging more difficult.

Garden tools will last for many seasons if they are maintained
properly. Clean, sharp blades on spades, shovels, hoes, and shears will
make garden work much easier. Although tools should be cleaned after
every use, most gardeners are busy and usually just return them to the
shed or garage. Fortunately, neglected tools can often be rejuvenated.

You have clean and maintain farm tools and equipment because;
“Breakages are payable”.

Farm tools and equipment help to make farm work easier and
effective.
Why do you have to maintain farm tools and equipment? They last
longer when you maintain them.

1. Tools and equipment that are maintained work more efficiently.

2. When you keep tools and equipment in good shape, you reduce the
risk of injury to the operator.
3. Regular maintenance reduces the cost of maintenance.

How do you Effectively Clean and Maintain Farm Tools and Equipment?

1. Sharpen tool before and after use.

When you sharpen tools it reduces the amount of force you need to
apply to perform the task. Blunt tools may break when being used.

2. Oil or grease metal parts.

This will prevent rusts of metal parts of tools and equipment. Oiling
the movable parts makes the tools easy to work with. It also increases
the efficiency of the tool or equipment.

3. Wooden handles should be strong.

Make sure tools with wooden handles are strong and durable. If there
is any defect, replace them.
4. Hang your garden tools.
Keep your tools hanged. Leaving them on the floor can cause rusts as
they may come in contact with moisture. Leaving tools on the floor may
cause injury to persons or persons stepping on them may break or deform
them, causing them to be unsuitable for work.

5. Store tools in their original cases.

Some tools and equipment come in their special cases to keep them
protected for damage. Make sure to clean and keep them in their original
cases.

6. Use silica gel packs.

Silica gel helps to keep tools dry in their cases. Use silica gel to
prevent rust of tools and equipment with metal parts.

7. Dry tools after use

After using tools or equipment, clean and make sure they are dried
before packing or hanging them. This will prevent them from rusting.

How to Clean and Sharpen Garden Tools

Step 1: Clean Tools

Start by giving your tools a good
scrubbing to remove any mud and grit
from the blades and handles. Dry with old
towels, then set them aside overnight so
they dry completely to avoid trapping
moisture.

Step 2: Remove Rust

Use steel wool or a wire brush to scrub
away any rust that has accumulated on
metal parts. A rotary wire brush
attachment chucked in a drill can make
the job easier.

Step 3: Sand Tools

Smooth worn wooden handles with
medium grit sandpaper to remove
splinters and deteriorated finish.
Step 4: Sharpen Tools
Use a metal file to lightly sharpen the
edges of tools. Again, you don’t want to
grind away too much of the metal, just
use it to smooth out nicks, remove burrs,
and give a nice clean edge.

Step 5: Oil Tools

Using a clean rag, apply lubricating oil to
both the wooden handle and the metal
blade. Rub the oil into the surface then
wipe off any excess. The oil will help
prevent rust.

Preventative Maintenance
1. Rinse off mud and soil with a garden hose. ...
2. Scrub away stubborn soil with a scrub brush, and use paint thinner
to remove sap and pitch.
3. Wipe tools dry with a rag or towel, or let them dry in the sun while you
finish your chores.
4. Hang tools up rather than standing them on their edges.

Pointers to follow in storing farm tools and equipment:

1. Have a designated place for each kind of tools.
2. Label the storage cabinet or place correctly for immediate finding.
3. Store them near the point of use.
4. Wash and dry properly before storing.
5. Store knives properly when not in use with sharp edge down.
