Well, thot it was time to add my 2 cents...
No one has mentioned using mini-blinds altho they have been discussed in the
pass.
I cut the slats in approx. 8 inch pieces.
I have been writing on them with a "Rub-A-Dub" Laundry Marker that I get at
Wal-Mart. I started using this marker last spring and they all haven't faded.
I like them for several reasons. They are easy to push in the ground. I
can write on both sides and can put basic info. I don't pull them out when I
run the rake over things in the spring. They come in Khaki which blends in
pretty good. They are very inexpensive.
The "Rub-A-Dub" Laundry Marker is the only thing I've found that doesn't
fade. Sharpies and paint pens don't last in the sun. And grease pencils
wipe off too easily and you can't write fine enuf.
A year or two ago a little machine that makes garden labels that costs less
than $100 was discussed. Does anyone use this? Seemed really great if you
did a lot of labels or wanted a lot of info on your labels.
Best Wishes to you all --
