Got a green thumb? Here’s how to move garden tools to your new home to ensure everything is transported safely!
Clean Your Tools
You may think that cleaning your garden tools before a move is a waste of time. After all, won’t they just get dirty again soon? But the truth is, cleaning your tools ensures that no bugs, pests, bacteria, or fungi from your old home invade your new one. You don’t want to accidentally bring in an invasive species that doesn’t mesh well with your new yard!
Disassemble Large Equipment
Equipment like lawn mowers should be disassembled before moving. This includes draining all of the liquids from your mower to prevent spills that could be dangerous. In fact, if you are working with a moving company, most movers have a policy that they cannot move mowers with any liquid inside!
Wrap Up Sharp Edges
Super sharp tools may be key to your gardening, but they are hazardous during a move. Be sure to secure any sharp edges in a softer material like bubble wrap. Even if you think it won’t be a problem, it’s better to ensure the safety of everyone involved in the move — all it takes is one person blindly reaching into a box to get injured!
Use Sturdy Boxes
Speaking of boxes, make sure you use sturdy boxes and don’t overfill them when moving garden tools. Garden tools are heavy, and even the smaller tools add up to quite a heavy load when packed together. The last thing you want to deal with on moving day is the bottom of your box bursting open and raining garden tools!
