• Hanging tools up saves space in a small shed.

• Keep a good selection of hand tools for the garden.

• Shelves and hooks keep a big shed tidy and well organised. Use a floor-
standing rack to stop tall tools falling over. Put trays and boxes on the shelves
to store small items neatly.

• Spades receive plenty of use so it’s worth investing in really solid ones that
won’t bend.

• Keep a box for bits and bobs – you never know when they will come in handy
for an eco-project.

• A dibber is useful for repotting small plants and for planting onion sets. Look
out for different sizes.

• A riddle is ideal for sieving soil or home-made compost to get rid of stones
and bits of twig.

• Store squashes on the shelves if your shed is frost-free. Turn them regularly
so they don’t rot.

• A screw press is ideal for squeezing fruit to make wine, cider and juices.

• Having an area in your shed for potting up seedlings is handy when it’s
raining and you’ve still got jobs to do.
