Fall is the time to make sure your equipment is in tip-top shape. But it’s also a time to ensure that all the gear you use in the busy season has a place to be stored and organized.
This month, we highlight new tool storage and a hat from a popular brand that will keep your head nice and warm while you’re getting the greenhouse prepped for the next season.
Tool Storage Rack Bundle by A.M. Leonard
Storing tools off the ground helps keep them in good shape and makes them easier to organize and find. But consumer-grade options for tool storage may not offer the kind of durability and longevity growers need. Enter horticultural tool supplier A.M. Leonard and its new U.S.-made Tool Storage Rack Bundle. It includes three two-pronged tool racks with spacing ranging from 1 5/8-inch to 2 3/4-inch to accommodate a variety of tool shapes and handle widths, as well as a single-prong storage option and one that fits on a standard wall stud. It also includes a 16-gauge cold-rolled steel and powder-coated Power Equipment Storage Bin that works with a variety of tools like string trimmers or hedge clippers. Included in the package is everything you need to install the racks. Every rack is rated to hold up to 140 pounds when installed on a stud.
Farmers Defense Maroon Beanie
The season that allows growers to make necessary improvements to their operations also happens to be the coolest season. If you’re working in the cold to make sure everything will work when the busy season kicks back up, you’ll need something to keep your head warm. Farmers Defense, known for its tough arm protection, has a beanie that will keep you comfortable while still looking good. The hat is made of what the company bills as “ultra-soft,” durable, 100% acrylic material, which keeps its shape during activity. And it’s good-looking enough that you don’t have to hide it at work. It can go from the greenhouse to the ski slopes and still look great. Unisex sizing, but hurry to get the Maroon style, as the Army Green version has already sold out.
