Make a Gardener's Tote

Description: How to make an easy gardener's tote.
Ready for Spring gardening?
You'll be more likely to tackle the daily garden activities if you're ready
to go with all your tools.
You'll need two plastic buckets. These can usually be found for free or for
a minimal cost at the local donut shop or bakery or can be purchased at the
local discount or hardware store.
I use one of the 2-gallon plastic buckets for storing my hand tools.
Inside my bucket, I keep my trowel, a small hand rake, a large spoon, a pair
of garden shears, a pair of garden gloves, my kneeling pad plus a few
plastic grocery bags for pulling weeds or for gathering the harvest.
A 5-gallon plastic bucket is great for collecting weeds in the garden. When
the bucket is full, transfer the weeds to the compost pile.
If you have an old piece of garden hose, cut off two small sections, slit
the hose lengthwise and slip it around the thin, metal handles on you
buckets to make them more comfortable to carry.
Need to take a break? Flip the 5-gallon bucket upside down and use it for a
chair.
Now when you're done gardening for the day...put away your Garden Tote by
storing the 2-gallon bucket inside the 5-gallon bucket.
