How many times have you started to your garden and realized you didn't remember where you had left your garden tools and gloves? I'll bet you I have done that many times until I decided to install a neat storage spot for my tools.
I took a mail box and mounted it on a 4x4 post in my garden. Now when I finish working, I put my gloves and tools in my "mail box" for safe keeping until my next work session.
Another gardener got one of these artisans who build birdhouses to build a birdhouse without the holes and hinge the front panel as a door. It can be mounted on a tree or on a pole. It is decorative as well as functional.
Give it a try. You will save yourself time and effort when you are in the garden.
