Each spring, I attempt to clear out and clean the garden bucket. Over the season it gets fuller and fuller with ’stuff’ and makes it heavy to cart around. This past Sunday morning was when I did this. There really was not much in there that weighed a whole lot, but the cumulative affect was noticeable. So what was in my bucket:
5 pr gardening gloves – some for each type of chore
5 pr garden clippers
1 wire cutter
1 lopper
3 trowels
bunch of plant labels
1 hand cultivator
skein of florist wire
untidy load of string/twine
2 small saws
2 adjustable wrenches
sunscreen – a few yrs old
empty bottle of water
watering wand for hose pipe
‘S’-hook
washer for hose pipe
eye goggles
2 empty beer cans
screwdriver
lots of dirty/dust.
Not a pretty site, and once it was tidied up, cleaned out and the gloves all washed, it was much lighter.
So what needs to come out of your bucket?

Nothing needs to come out of my bucket because I am a novice gardener–but thanks for the great idea of HAVING a garden bucket. I am going to put mine together tomorrow!
