RE: Mini Blind labels

 

Hi,

So are you also using the Brother label Pro XL?  I use that and yes I only put the expensive labels on the plants in my garden.  Mine work right off my landscape data base.  Questions please contact me off line.  c*@wi.rr.com

 

My labels have lasted over 10 years.

Subject: [iris-species] Mini Blind labels

 

 

When I have time and/or very special plants I use ½ “ or ¾ “ Brother laminated labels on the slat from mini blinds.  The first time I had one of these labels came with a plant a friend gave me.  The plastic tape-like part of the label fell off the mini blind in about three years, but I could easily read the tape and make another label.  This would not work in windy areas. 

 

Nowadays there are extra weather resistant types.  So far they have lasted well for at least four years.  I can get a lot of information on a label and it is very easy to read.  I have used both clear and white backed ones with black letters.  The white are available here at Costco so they are cheapest to buy but they only carry the ½ “size but the clear ones are nicer looking.  Pencils are easier than printing labels when I am potting up or dividing to give away.  Usually only the plants that get into my garden get the “fancier” labels.

 

I have enjoyed this “conversation” about labels.  Thank you to everyone for contributing.  I have learned something from all of you.
