Install a stake in the ground with a gate hook on it that hooks into it’s respective eye hole on your gate.
I’m telling you, it’s a super simple, low cost way to save yourself a lot of trouble with the opening and closing and opening and closing of your gate (either by yourself or at the hand of the wind) while you bring in your mulch or soil or whatever else might in your hands while preparing your spring garden.

Yep! Great advice. Thanks for linking this up to our HomeAcre Hop. We’d love to have you back again tomorrow.
I finally installed a hook and eye latch on the INSIDE of the chicken coop so the girls can’t rush the door and escape when I gather eggs or clip wings.
Your photo with the advice to install a latch came up long before the text did, and I though you were advocating for locking up our gardens to keep us out of them!!
Lol…that’s funny! Sorry for the scare and thanks for the heads up! I’ll check the loading time on the site 🙂
And it keeps chickens out! Great advice!
