Landscaping Equipment Storage Tips Although it is nice to have a pegboard for long-handled tools, it is not strictly necessary; a spading fork can be hung by its handle from a nail, and a shovel can be hung by resting its head between two nails. A flowerpot, with some sand on the bottom for stability, makes an easy “jar” in which to dump your trowel and other short-handled tools, and other flowerpots can be drafted for holding gardening gloves, twine, or other smaller items. An open tub on a lower shelf can hold grass seed or potting soil and corral any leakage.
