I have a very fancy garden tote caddy! (And chances are, you do, too!)

 

When the gardening season started in full swing, I realized that I could really use a new tool to help with daily tasks.

I started looking for a garden caddy. Something that would hold my tools, but would also be great for throwing in the weeds and sticks as I cleaned.

I looked at local garden shops, and they did sell plastic totes, but they were upwards of $20 for the small, and $40 for the big.

Then I looked online. 

Something like this?

Or maybe collapsible like this?

Or maybe with handles like this?

Hey. Wait a minute. 

Doesn't that last one look like one of the hundreds of reuasble totes that I already own? One of those freebies from the Home Shows and county fairs?

I looked through my stash, and in no time found the perfect one! Dark colored, made of plastic-like material, so it's easy to hose down. And big, with handles!

It works great!

I use it to store my kneeling pad, garden gloves, pruners, hand trowel, and weed digger. And it does a great job of hauling away the debris, too!

Cost for this fancy tool? Free!

Jemma approves. :)
