We use old metal venetian blinds (when we can get them) and write on them
with garden marker pens. But if north facing (south in USA) they will fade
off in 2 years.. I mark both sides of the marker and also the bottom, as in
the ground the label lasts forever. this way if the top fades, you can
always pull the label up and rewrite on the top, but you never actually lose
the plants ID. I find that if the blinds break it is usually near ground
level and so there is still the tag in the ground
