Garden Labeling advice please

Vegetables, soft and top fruit, vegetables both under cover and outside. Labelling takes a lot of effort, creates many blunt pencils and a bad temper. I have found a pencil that stays readable for longer "Rainbow"- but even so, I like to label the many fruit varieties accurately and get it to stay readable. I have been looking at these machines that are about, they seem to make a flexible label suitable for trees and soft fruit, but I wonder if there is a dual purpose one that can also produce stiff plastic. Anyway, can anyone advise me about makes, their stengths and weaknesses and the all important labels themselves. I don't mind getting a special printer for the garden, as my wife is happy to explain in detail I can spend like a drunken sailor on it, but I do have 'puter and a good HP office printer. Would I be duplicating something I can do already? Is it just a question of buying the right ink and sheets of labels? I would like, if possible, to print on both sides of the label. Nowadays, I get some help and it is useful if I can f.e. print "Prune March, pick October." TIA -- Regards Pat Gardiner Test British pigs for MRSA now! www.go-self-sufficient.com I find that an ordinary HB pencil seems to last the longest and doesn't fade, will write on most plastic labels David Hill Yes, pencils are best (nothing like using low-tech, is there?!). Scratch labels aren't bad. See he http://www.twowests.co.uk/TwoWestsSite/product/BPSI.htm. Don't know if they are still made, though. -- Jeff (cut "thetape" to reply) |
