I have to admit I am cheap but I go to goodwill or another thrift store and
buy old venetian blinds or mini blinds. I cut them into the lengths that I
want and write the infor I want on them with and indelible marker (some
markers are better than others). In seedling beds I cut them short 5" or so
and In the TB beds I cut them long so I can see the names over bloom
stalks. I have some labels that I still use from 3 years ago although I may
have to rewrite some of the names on them depending on the marker I used.
There are different weights of blinds and I like to use the less flexible
kinds for the TB's.
