plastic beads and ties


That's the hard way. Pros tend to use write-on labels, either
plastic or soft metal. Those are inexpensive, last for years,
and don't require a fiddly color coding scheme.


i'm obviously not a pro
and i like looking at a patch
and seeing fairly immediately
what crosses i've done.

write on lables in one
color mean i have to go
look at records to see what
i've done -- spending more
time with the writing
and reading and less time
out in the patch.

besides, i like my fiddly
stuff.
