Ever find yourself in the garden needing to cut something but you can hardly get your pruners open? The sharper and cleaner your tools are the better the cut will be and that will make gardening easier and keep your plants happier and healthier.
Tools need cleaning…whether you have the top-of-the-line Felco pruners or the brightly colored ones that are half the price (with the bonus of not getting lost in the green garden).
It doesn’t take long to clean your pruners after each use. Steel wool and hot, soapy water works. Just make sure to dry and use hydrophobic grease afterwards to prevent rust and moisture from entering in.
Some people use rubbing alcohol between cuts to prevent passing disease from one plant to another. Felco pruners last a lifetime and come in different sizes. My Garden Nursery has several to try out so you can see which one is perfect for you.
