That bit stumped me as well, so I stopped. Which is what usually happens with these surveys.
In the sticks near Peterborough
I did it but the questions are too vague, more thought required if you want people to participate
Thank you for your responses.
I apologise if the questions seem vague and confusing.
The goal of the questionnaire is to come away with a clearer understanding of how people organise their garden tools and to find out if lifestyle affects the way people interact with their garden.
Done but the questionnaire needs more thought put into it to make it worthwhile.
What's the project Ed?
Good luck with it

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Bucket and a wall does it for me too. But sometimes, the tiop of the wheelie bin or the middle of the compost heap are temporary/ permanent resting places
I had secateurs that spent over a year in a compost heap. Renovated by OH, only to be put through the shredder by me the following year.
And the saw that after 2 years hanging in a pollarded willow became part of the tree.
I have a place for everything and everything in its place (thanks to OH for the racks) but it all falls apart when I can't find the tools to put away.

Organisng garden tools ??? what is that?
I keep meaning to paint my hand trowel and fork a bright yellow. Why on earth do the manufactures use painted green or blue.
I will look in Wilkos
'You must have some bread with it me duck!'
I've got a yellow handled trowel too, but it isn't yellow when it's covered in mud from trying to work on a wet day!
I lost a rake once for several months and had to buy another. I had leaned it safely against a tree and it disappeared into the background of shrubs and branches.
Survey does need more thought, I wanted to tick all of the 'feelings' for No. 6, it depends on what you are doing.The thing that stops me most often is bad weather, which isn't given as an option.
Lack of money doesn't stop you gardening either, once you have some basic tools, or only because you have to go to work to earn enough to live on. It may limit your choice of plants though, and affect elements of garden design such as hard surfacing, structures and features.
Done?. I'm a bucket and wall girl too
The Q? about how often was another tricky one. Every day in spring/summer, but you won't find me out there for any length of time in Dec/Jan. Brrrrr ❄❄❄
