Clean tools before pruning
Firstly, clean tools are happy tools and any Jedi gardener worth his or her salt knows that clean pruning tools cut faster, easier and make cleaner cuts. Spray both side of your tool's pruning blade and the anvil liberally with the Lysol Then take a small piece of the sandpaper and rub firmly on the blade/anvil working in small circles or back and forth, using the Lysol as a lubricant and... How you clean your pruning tools is quite simple using a technique that I innovated way back when I was the director at Park & Tilford Gardens as a means to teach students proper care of their tools. You'll also need Lysol disinfectant spray, the non-foaming type used as a disinfectant spray for air and many household surfaces. Based on the number of emails I received, it seems to have generated considerable interest for gardeners who prune during winter. Cutting faster and easier is also better ergonomic action for the human wrist and arm muscles and tendons, which makes the work less laborious. Some sandpaper brands only say "fine," "medium" or "coarse," so choose fine. To clean your hand pruner, saw, or lopper you'll need some waterproof sandpaper for metal in 300 or 400 grit. Most of the questions I received were based on "why" and "how" we prune.
