Organize Garden Supplies - Store Garden Bags

♦If you use big bags of fertilizers, seeds, mulch and more, you probably sometimes dump them into a spreader. But first you lug them around by hand--unless you're lucky enough to own a lawn dolly or garden cart. But even if you own a cart to tote them on, you probably only own one cart, which means you can only move so many bags at a time and you still have to lug them on and off the cart.

♦An easier way to maneuver, as well as store and organize these bags of gardening supplies in your garage or shed, is to use small, medium and large size plastic pet food storage containers that are already on wheels (sometimes called casters). Put the whole bag in the container or dump the contents of the bag into the container, depending on your preferences and how it's best stored. The one below is Iris Container sold by Stacks and Stacks:

♦Put a scoop in each container.

♦Label the outside of the container so you know what's in it, or what goes in it once it's empty and ready for a refill.

♦Now you can wheel these heavy bags of gardening supplies to your porch or driveway where you're putting plants into pots or around the garage to organize and store them. The contents stay dry in the containers and you don't have those half open messy bags everywhere with little spills next to them.
