Non-Garden tools

 As I was cleaning cobwebs off the edge and underside of the verandah this
morning, I realised that the tool I use for the job was a bit unusual
because it's a toilet brush.

It works brilliantly as the bristles are strong and the long handle keeps me
away from the spiders.

I also used my old kitchen knife with it's bright orange plastic handle and
this set me to wondering about what sort of other unusual/unexpected tools
other people use in the garden.

 

My garden shed is a one car detached garage located 150 feet from my
vegetable garden, so I have a rural mailbox in my vegetable garden for
storing small often used hand tools like pruners/knives/trowels and supplies
like string/twistums/pencil-paper, roll of paper towels etc... inexpensive,
weatherproof, and saves a lot of steps back and forth to the shed.

 

Now that is an absolutley brilliant idea!  I think I'll steal it as I have a
situation where your idea would work well.

Thanks for that.

If I recall correctly, Bill W. posted this idea at least a year ago,
maybe longer.

Perhaps a convergent idea, but damned if I'll see shel, mackie's
soul/butt buddy, take credit for Bill W's post.

 it pops up frequently in magazines like Hobby Farm or those pretty
pictures type garden magazines. the first time i recall seeing it was
in the 80s... it's certainly not original to Shelly.
