Nick finally got fed up trying to crunch out labels with the silly dymo
label maker thing and has invested in an electric one where he can print out
a bunch of identical labels for pots as easily as doing one. *I was a bit

My problem is doing around 500 large field labels, pencil is to fine,
and to do them by machine is going to be expensive, I'm sure there is
an answer somewhere out there.
