Calling all disorganized gardeners! We see you, with your half-used bags of garden soil scattered about your garage or shed. And we've got just what you need — a tidy and affordable storage solution that will help your space look just as impeccable as your garden.

Plastic storage drawers — the ones that typically sit three or four stacks high — are excellent for storing products like garden soil, fertilizer, bark, diatomaceous Earth (DE), and other loose garden supplies, like perlite. You simply empty the bags of soil into the individual drawers, add a scoop for easy access, and keep the drawers in a convenient location for the next time you need your supplies.

You can usually find plastic storage drawers for less than $20 (like the ReMoiz Plastic Storage Drawer Cart), so they're a great budget-friendly organizational solution. If you've been looking for organization tips for your garden shed, or taking stock of the soil supplies you have laying around, putting these drawers to use is an easy first step. 

Storing your garden soil supplies all in one place is helpful for every gardener. When you know where everything is, you're not wasting time poking around the shed for the perlite or fertilizer you know you bought ages ago. It also allows you to keep an eye on inventory — you'll always be able to see when you're running low on one of your essentials.

Plus, since the plastic storage drawers are relatively light and portable (some types even have wheels), they're easy to move. The individual drawers are easy to remove from the base, too, so you could even grab the one you need, keep it next to you while gardening, and put it back when you're done. 

You can also keep the drawers handy in your garden shed or garage during planting season, and then haul them to the basement to keep your supplies stored for the winter. In this way, you can save the supplies you didn't use for next year's gardening, lessening your bill when it comes time to restock next spring. All in all, you'll have a more organized garden routine and a happier wallet, all thanks to plastic storage drawers.
