Just using a #2 lead pencil on blinds or stakes-even wood works
great and can last more than a year. From:

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Marcy Someone on this list gave me the idea last year and I want to
say thanks and pass it on. I was reminded of it looking through catalogs this
morning with all the nice wooden garden markers. I had two mini blinds that had been replaced in the house. If
you cut up the slats they make great markers. I found that longer pieces
didn’t work real well – they tend to bend and break or pull out of
the ground, but up to 10” or so do really good. Great winter job for
kids. I cut the “bottom” at an angle or a point for outside
markers. Saves a few bucks anyway. You can usually find some
really cheap at thrift stores. Also for UV proof markers that last the entire season, use the
Sharpie INDUSTRIAL markers. I just got a 3-pack at the office supply store
– way cheaper there than the seed catalogs. There’s nothing
worse than labeling all the rows or flats with something that fades! Marcy |
