Everyday Household Items for the Garden Shed

Our garden isn't very far from the house, but we've learned that keeping the garden shed well stocked saves trips in and out of the house which in turn saves both time and cleaning.  We have a refrigerator in the shed which we keep stocked with water and other beverages and also has room to temporarily store produce.  Maybe I've thought of a few things you haven't, but I'd love to hear what your essentials are.

• Spray on Sunscreen: It is so much easier to spray on sunscreen and reapply throughout the day if you have dirty hands or gloves on.  SPF 50 applied hourly allows me to stay out in full sun for 6 hours or more without any burn.
• Hand Sanitizer:  Even if you have soap and water, if you have been handling blighted tomato leaves, sanitizer is a good extra precaution.
• Bactine: for those scrapes and cuts that you don't want to run into the house and doctor right this minute.
• Castile Soap: I keep a wall mounted pump dispenser mounted on the post next to the garden house spigot so I can wash up any time I need.
• Paper Towels or Scotts Rags in a Box:  I almost always have one tucked into my shirt somewhere.  Good for wiping faces, blowing noses or actual cleaning.
• Chlorox: for disinfecting scissors, reusable tomato ties etc.
• Avon's Skin So Soft:  Nothing repels deer flies any better.  
• Technu Extreme Poison Ivy Scrub: for those times you think you got into it despite precautions.
• Mineral Oil: for oiling tool handles
• Plastic Sandwich Bags: for bagging fruit on the tree
• Beer: for making slug traps (also used tin pie plates)
• Table Salt: for salting slugs
• Knife Block: I picked this up for about six bucks at an outlet store.  I use the knives for cutting broccoli etc. The kitchen shears also come in handy

• Apron: If you really aren't dressed for hauling around a wet dirty pot but you don't have time to change into mud clothes
• Nitril Gloves: for really wet, muddy jobs.  These fit inside regular cloth gloves
• Plastic Bowls or Colanders: for picking peas or beans.  I picked up a whole stack at a church rummage sale
• Measuring Cups: for measuring concentrated fertilizer or for flicking beetles into
• Funnel: for refilling quart spray bottles with something nasty like deer repellent
• Wooden Clothes Pins: for pinning on row covers or blanching cauliflower
• Band-Aids: for covering blisters or repairing fingers

Sometimes I think the everyday household products out number the actual gardening products and tools.
