🎧 Episode 28 – Garden Gnomes & Garage Goblins: Taming Outdoor Chaos
Welcome back to The JJ’s Declutter Podcast, where clutter meets its match—especially the kind that hides in your garage, garden shed, or beneath that leaning tower of plastic pots.
In Episode 28, hosts Julie and Janis unearth the hilarious (& helpful) truths about outdoor clutter. Whether you're battling garage goblins or overwhelmed by seed packet sprawl, we’ve got you covered.
🧹 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- How to declutter your garden shed: Tame those tools, organize your pots, and deal with those expired seed packets from the last century.
- Garage organizing tips: Make sense of your DOOM (Didn’t Organize, Only Moved) zones with vertical storage, ceiling racks, pegboards, and clear bins.
- The Great Garden Tool Roundup: Why having 10 trowels doesn’t help if you can’t find one when you need it.
- Creative seed storage solutions: From photo boxes to seed binders—and why a hanging shoe organizer might just become your garden's best friend.
- Hidden resources for gardeners: Learn how libraries and SNAP benefits can support your seed habit.
- Seasonal rotation systems: Keep only what you need front and center with smart seasonal storage zones.
🌿 Funny Highlights:
- “If it’s rusted, busted, or crusted—Let it goooooo!” (Elsa gets a decluttering remix 🎶)
- Janis nearly says “old hoes” when referring to hoses… cue the laughter!
- Julie finds 3 snow shovels… in Florida (or is it Washington? Cue confusion!)
