TIP OF THE WEEK

In this cold weather it is a great time to get in the shed and clean your tools sow they are all Sharpe, clean and in working order for the coming season.
Start by getting a wire brush and brush any soil that is on the metal work. this will also get rid of any rust if they have been left wet or have got damp in your shed over winter. next is to get a flat file so that you can re sharpen the edges of your tools particularly spades, hows etc. where you need a good sharp edge to cut through the weeds and soil. finally give the medal work a good oil.
If have wooden handles get a pieces of wire wool give the rub down and then re oil them with either linseed oil or teak oil.
