I'm always losing/mislaying things. 
Here's my nifty solution to my most frequently used greenhouse things.
I can see where they are at a glance.

What are your nifty solutions, big or small?

    I love these "over the door" hanging solutions for small spaces. No nails or attachments needed and, boy, can they hold a lot of stuff.



    Also, strong magnetic tool holders. They can be mounted by screws, but I just have just used tacks and it works well. The wood looks smarter than the normal knife holders. I'd like a longer one. They are great for storing my great range of old seceteurs and wire cutters where I can actually find them.




    Strong magnets are the answer to most things. I use my fridge to store as much on the outside as the inside. lol

    For my garden twine, I stuck the whole ball into a plastic pot - nothing decorative, just the liner a plant came in from the GC. The end of the twine goes down through a drainage hole in the bottom of the pot, so you just pull from the bottom. I cut a small hole along the top rim to hang it up from a nail in the garage. I also keep an old pair of kitchen scissors in the pot to cut the twine.

    If this gets through, it may produce ideas.  (But it didn't, I'm afraid)

    I keep my ball of garden twine on an old loo roll holder on the inside of the shed door, with the scissors on a hook nearby. That way I can pull off what I need without dropping the damn thing and it rolling into the deep recesses of the shed.
