Outside Toys

Ask:
Time to go through & get rid of the broken outside toys & balls that no longer bounce & can' t be pumped up. Pump up the good balls, donate things your kids don't play with anymore and feel good about getting your outside toys in order!
Answer:

I do this in the fall before I store everything for wintertime...we don't really have that many outdoor toys though, in general.
Answer:

How do your organize your outdoor toys, especially balls? We have a ball bin (rubbermaid storage container) that works pretty well, but sometimes we have to dig for them or the lid isn't on quite right and it gets a couple inches of rain in. Any tips on outdoor toy storage if you have a very small garage?
Answer:

I stick the balls in one of those net or mesh bags, large enough to hold however many balls you need to store. Then I hang it up on a peg in my patio. Even if it rains the water just runs through because the bag is basically a net, so you don't get standing water and mosquitoes.
