Maintaining Wild Tip
by Besa Schweitzer, chapter member
Gardening tools can be cleaned, oiled, and sharpened now.
Repair the tools you can or send them off to be repaired at the hardware store or their manufacturer.
Sharp tools like pruners and shovels cause less damage to plants by making clean cuts to branches and roots that are easy to heal over.
