Bet you didn't think you'd see cheese cloth on a garden tool site. Truth is, it's handy when you're trying to put fertilizer in a sprayer. Running it through the cheese cloth first keeps the fertilizer bits from plugging up the sprayer. I guess you could use it in the kitchen too for canning, baking, basting poaching, straining, wrapping, cheesemaking, tofumaking and wine making. Oh, yeah...great for waxing and polishing, furniture refinishing, cleaning windows, crafting. It's pretty much indispensible and used to be a staple item in every household. This is 2 square yards of function.
