re tags and labels




Louise - Good to hear that labelling rocks works - that was going to be my
next attempt.  I was thinking of using acryllic paint - have you ever tried
it?

And ditto to burying labels.  I find the most permanent marker that I have
used so far is a small plastic tag labelled with 'permanent' marker placed
face down next to the plant with a small rock placed on top of it.  My garden
is nothing more than a pile of rocks, gravel, and organic matter in some
places so it works well for me.  Labels from some of the first plants I
bought in the early 70's are still out there.

I use cut up cottage cheese/yogurt containers, but they don't hold ink as
well as store bought plastic labels.

Are these soft pencils something I can get at a walmart/kmart equivalent?  Or
are they a garden specialty item?

Has anybody tried crayon?
