WHAT IS IT
R
NE
For more understanding of what you have read, let us define first some words.
GE
Facility- something designed or created to provide a service or fulfill a need.

Nursery shed – a light structure where seedlings are cared for before planting. The shed
T
also provides shade to growers while raising seedling.

1S
Greenhouse – a more sophisticated building in which seedlings are being started before
bringing to the nursery shed. In most greenhouses, environmental conditions are controlled.
Storage barn – a building where agricultural chemicals and other farm supplies are being
stored.
Shop building – a building where hand tools are being stored and repaired.
Manual handling – any activity that requires a person to use force to push, hold, restrain, or
carry an object.
3
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Maintenance – work that is done regularly to keep a machine, building, or piece of equipment
in good condition and working order.
HOW TO MAINTAIN NURSERY FACILITIES
Maintaining Farm Facility
The most common facility we have is the nursery shed or greenhouse. It must be
thoroughly cleaned and organized. Users are required to help in the general cleaning to
maintain a safe, sanitary, and orderly work environment.
2.0
General housekeeping requirements for users are:
• clean worktables and/ potting benches
ON
• clean floors and benches during and after work
• use compost and trash cans
SI
• replace lids to avoid insect and growth of bacteria
ER
• clean sinks after each use and limit the amount of soil going down drains
-V
In cooperation with the users, the staff should:
• Wash and/or sweep floors of greenhouses and potting areas at least once per week S
LE
• Empty trash and compost cans regularly
DU
• Sanitize and disinfect work areas as the need arises

• Empty bottles or containers of chemicals and other unusable materials should be disposed
MO
of properly following the practice of waste management act

For productive, cost-efficient and effective farm facilities, here are activities you can
ON
immediately implement:
 Schedule a regular clean up at least twice a year. This is also the time to undertake a
I
AT
general inspection of machines and equipment. The activities include removing all
cobwebs, thorough scrubbing of the ceiling, walls, and floor, and cleaning of machines.
R
Segregate unserviceable tools, implements, and equipment that are beyond repair from
NE
those that can be repaired.

 Schedule clean-up activities twice a month, including wiping lighting fixtures and
GE
windows, scrubbing of restrooms, cleaning, and oiling of metal parts of farm tools, and
placing lubricants to the moving parts of machines. Repair defective tools, implements,
and equipment as soon as possible.
T

1S
For regular clean-up chores, give workers about five minutes daily to tidy the work
station, including the tools, farm implements, machines, and equipment they use before
they go home. This motivates the next workers (if they operate in shifts) to start work
immediately. Besides, this is a subtle way of developing in them the housekeeping
routine.
4
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 Cultivate the habit of collecting waste even before it touches the floor. Provide a
sack or bag in one or two corners of the workplace where you can throw your garbage.
At the end of the day, your workers can just put their wastes in the designated places for
disposal at the scheduled day and time.
How to Clean Your Tools?
Let’s start with the basics. Your shovel, spade, hoe, or even the blades on a hedge
trimmer will be a lot easier to use if you take a few minutes to knock some of the rust off the
blade. Not only will this extend the life of the tool, but also it will cut through the soil better,
and thus require less effort to use. It is a good idea to keep a large whetstone in your shop to
2.0
sharpen the blades of your garden tools. This tool can be purchased at most hardware stores.
A whetstone is an ideal tool to use to keep all of the cutting edges on your garden tools honed.
ON
It will work well on your shovel, as well as many other common garden tools.
The best way to use the stone is to find a way to stabilize the tool that you want to
SI
work on. A bench vise is ideal. You will be able to clamp the tool into place at an angle, so
ER
you can work on it. Clamping the garden tool into place with a vise frees up both of your hands
to use the whetstone and gives you more control over what you are doing.
-V
Apply a little bit of lubricating oil to the end of the tool and carefully begin to work the
stone over the blade. Maintain a 30-degree angle between the stone and the blade to form
the ideal cutting edge for your tool. Not only will the edge become sharper, but you will also S
LE
be removing any pitting and rust that has formed at the edge of your tool’s blade.
In instances where the moving parts of your garden tools (e.g. pruning shears, and
DU
loppers) have frozen in place, like springs and pivot joints, you should disassemble them
carefully. Clean and make them free from rust and dirt that keep the tools from functioning
MO
properly. Break free any rust or dirt that may keep the tool from functioning properly. Remove
stubborn rust with fine steel wool or wire brush. Using an old toothbrush with some lightweight
ON
lubricating oil is a great way to work fresh oil into the joints of most garden tools. Fresh oil will
not only help your tool work as it is intended but it will also prevent the formation of rust. Use
medium-grit sandpaper to remove rust on larger tools such as shovels, spades, and hoes.
I
AT
Once your tools are clean, they're ready to be sharpened. When sharpening, try to
R
maintain the original factory bevel or angle. For pruners, use a whetstone because it produces
NE
a very sharp cutting edge. Depending on the type of whetstone, apply a few drops of oil or
water to the stone. With the beveled side of the blade against the stone, rub the sharp edge
GE
of the blade toward the stone in a curved motion, as if you were trying to shave off a thin slice
from the stone.
T
When working with a file, stabilize the blades in a vise or against a solid surface such
1S
as a workbench to avoid injury and ensure an even stroke. Always push the file across the
blade in a motion away from your body. Move the file diagonally, so that its cutting teeth are
biting into the metal on the tool. When sharpening with a file, do not use oil; metal filings will
accumulate and clog the file's serrations.
Farm implements like the ordinary plow and wooden harrow should be checked
thoroughly before use. Loosened bolts and nuts should be tightened firmly. Disc plow and
tuned-up very well by a skilled operator. Check on their oil, lubricant, fuel, and cooling system.
5
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Defective tools should be separated and be fixed immediately to avoid an accident.
SIMPLE REPAIR AND MODIFICATION OF TOOLS AND

IMPLEMENTS
“Simple garden tools are simple to repair”. Spend a little time checking your garden
tools for things to fix and recycle.
To Replace A Tool Handle:
2.0
1. Clamp the tool blade in a bench vise.
2. Remove the handle from the hasp using a drill, hammer, or other tools as needed.
ON
3. Insert the new handle into the hasp.
SI
4. Tighten the handle in the hasp using fasteners. Use a screw and screwdriver to firmly
ER
attach the handle to the tool head.
To Fix A Leaky Hose:
-V
1. Cut through the hose on either side of the bad section using a sharp knife.
2. Attach male and female hose couplings to the cut ends, following the directions that
S
LE
come with the couplings. If the new hose fittings don't slide in easily, try softening the
ends of the hose in hot water or lubricating them with soap or cooking oil.
DU
To Fix A Broken Tooth of Rake/Fork:

MO
Bring this to the shop and weld the broken portion of the tools. Do the same with the
other tools and implement that need welding. For farm machines that need repair, contact
expert mechanics to the job.
ON
Installation of Preventive Structure

I
AT
It has been observed that as we go on our horticultural work we always experience

the occurrence of inclement weather. Before it is too late, think of anything that you can do to
R
safeguard your crops, tools, and other facilities. We should not only focus our attention on the
NE
occurrence of inclement weather but we have to consider also other elements that may cause
loss or damage to our property (ex. astray animals, fire, and thieves).
GE
Let’s take a look into our facilities, such as; nursery shed, storage house, and farm
shops. Examine their physical conditions (roofing, sidings, or floorings). Can they survive any
T
disaster that may occur? Are the things inside safe? If not, what preventive structures should
1S
you undertake?
Below is a table indicating the facilities, physical conditions, possible calamities or

disaster that may occur, and the suggested preventive structures or contingency measures
to be undertaken.

Prepare Farm Facilities for Storage:

S
LE
After a quite long time, farming operations finally come to an end. This time we have
DU
to check the tools, implements, and equipment we used and prepare them for storage.
MO
Regarding the preparation of garden tools for long storage, you can adopt some of the
practices mentioned below:
ON
Begin by gathering all hand tools and removing any dirt or rust with a wire brush, steel
wool or light sandpaper. An old pro’s tip is to keep a galvanized tub with sand and waste oil
to clean tools in.
I
AT
By inserting the shovels, spades, and forks into the mixture and moving them up and
R
down, they get a good scrubbing with the abrasive sand as well as a coat of lubricant.
NE
 Sharpen the tools using a file that is made specifically for this task. Remember to
move the file in one direction only, and at a 45- degree angle.
GE
 Sand wooden handles with sandpaper and follow up with a coat of paste wax or
linseed oil if necessary.
T
 Spray all metal parts with a good coat of lubricating oil. This will discourage rust as
1S
your tools are stored in your tool shed or garage.

 Store your tools up off the ground and in a dry spot.
 Drain water hoses and hang them in the garage. Water hoses left out during winter
and exposed to freezing temperatures are more likely to tear and spring leaks.
 Don’t forget about the lawnmower. If you don’t have a chance to use up the gas before
storing it, add a gas stabilizer to the fuel tank to prevent corrosion.
7
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 Store pesticides out of reach of children and pets. Store dry pesticides in plastic bags.
Liquid pesticides should be stored in a location that will stay above 40 degrees
Fahrenheit
By following these few basic preparatory steps, you can ensure that on the following
year, you’ll be working in your garden instead of working on your garden tools. With proper
care of the farm tools, implements, and equipment, you can also save yourself from buying
new ones.
For proper care and maintenance of farmhand tools and equipment, the following
guidelines should be observed:
2.0
1. Hand tools must always be kept dry in a tool rack when they are not being used.
ON
2. Tools should be washed or cleaned before keeping them in the tool rack.
3. The iron parts of tools should be oiled, greased, or painted with coal tar when they are to
SI
be stored for a long time.
ER
4. Defective tools should be repaired immediately. Those tools, implements, and equipment
that are beyond repair should be disposed of properly.
-V
5. Cutting and digging tools (bolos, scythe, hoes, and axes) should be frequently sharpened.
FARM TOOL SAFETY

S
LE
Keeping tools in good working condition is half the formula for being safe. The other
DU
half is the ability and awareness of the person using the tools
MO
Safety = Good Working Tools + Able and Aware Worker
Tool failure causes some farm accidents; however, most farm accidents are caused by
ON
tired, stressed, rushed, distracted, or incompetent workers.
In addition to the specific safe handling rules for each type of farm tools, there are
I
AT
seven basic guidelines for tools safety:
 Read and comply with the operator's safety manual for each piece of farm tool.
R
 Prepare for safety by wearing appropriate clothing, having enough rest, not drinking
NE
alcohol, and ensuring that all workers have been trained and are capable of safely
using the farm tool.
GE
 Keep all guards, shields, and access doors in place when the tool is in used
 Be aware of what you are doing and where you are going.
T
 Adjust tools to fit working conditions.

1S
 Keep children and other people away from the working area.
 Take breaks from work, as necessary.

Why Do You Have To Maintain Farm Tools And Equipment?
 They last longer when maintained.

 Tools and equipment that are maintained work more efficiently.
8
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 When you keep tools and equipment in good shape, you reduce the risk of injury to
the operator.
 Regular maintenance reduces the cost of maintenance.
How to Effectively Maintain Farm Tools and Equipment
 SHARPEN TOOL BEFORE AND AFTER USE. When you sharpen tools it reduces
the amount of force you need to apply to accomplish the task. Blunt tools may break
when being used.
2.0
 OIL OR GREASE METAL PARTS. This will prevent rusts of metal parts of tools and
equipment. Oiling the movable parts makes the tools easy to work with. It also
increases the efficiency of the tool or equipment.
ON
 WOODEN HANDLES SHOULD BE STRONG. Make sure tools with wooden handles
SI
are strong and durable. If there is any defect, replace them.
ER
 HANG YOUR GARDEN TOOLS. Keep your tools hanged. Leaving them on the floor
can cause rusts as they may come in contact with moisture. Leaving tools on the floor
-V
may cause injury to persons or persons stepping on them may break or deform them,
causing them to be unsuitable for work.

S
LE
STORE TOOLS IN THEIR ORIGINAL CASES. Some tools and equipment come in
their special cases to keep them protected for damage. Make sure to clean and keep
DU
them in their original cases.
 USE SILICA GEL PACKS. Silica gel helps to keep tools dry in their cases. Use silica
MO
gel to prevent rust of tools and equipment with metal parts.
 DRY TOOLS AFTER USE. After using tools or equipment, clean and make sure they
ON
are dried before packing or hanging them. This will prevent them from rusting.
