How do you keep things at the allotment

I am always putting things down and then forgetting where I put them - secateurs ( buy cheap ones now as I've "misplaced" too many decent sets", machete (), scissors, twine, hoe, seed packets, elastic bands. I cleared out my shed today - a place for everything and everythin in it's place - at least until tomorrow.Rat

when up the lottie i put my tools in a bright pink gardening tub and move it around with me as i weed the raised beds etc... i do loose my hand trowel or hand fork on a regular basis as i tend to stick them in the ground so i don't fall over them and then forget where they are!!When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author Unknown

Lots of us loose stuff then lol I am not worried about the shed I keep it locked and so far our site hasnt had much trouble. The things I have lost I have left out and I think a beedy eyed plot holder sees them and when asked if they have seen my lost items denies seeing them but I have my doubts. I have a pink tub that I broke the handle on so maybe thats the answer if I remember to put things back into it lol .will give it a go today. The big things hang up so I can see at a glance that they are missing before I go.Gardening ..... begins with daybreak

I bought some Felco secateurs in the hope that because they're so expensive I'm never likely to just leave then lying about. I, like NOG have the holster thing which also helps.
I usually have a seed tray that I put everything in wherever I am, and leave it in a path so I have to step over it. That way, when clearing up after I've finished I rarely forget whatever's in it.A simple dude trying to grow veg. http://haywayne.blogspot.com/

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

Put everything away locked the shed walked through the plot and what did I find but my fork lol open shed put fork in lock shed lolGardening ..... begins with daybreak

Felco secateurs didn't help, even though they cost a bomb and had to be specially ordered by the local GC as they didn't stock the left-handed ones. I've never actually lost them, but I've come close once or twiceLast edited by bluemoon; 04-06-2009, 08:36 PM.Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.

After a good clean up and a bit of 3 in 1 oil, they are again my best secateurs!! (Spear and Jackson)"Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within.

I lost my Celery plants today and was convinced that someone had nicked them!
Later in the day when I went to the area I was going to plant them...........there they were there, in the plantpots ready to be planted! I still can't remember putting them there, even now! (It WAS all of one day ago!)My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order
