Plant labels that don't biodegrade

The ones I bought from the local garden centre fell to bits after a year. Any idea where to get some decent labels? What exactly do you mean Chris? Something like this? ... http://www.lbsgardenwarehouse.co.uk/...ABW&name=label s&sfile=1&jump=8 We use the 12 inch ones out on our allotment and they survive OK for years (unless I tread on them!), we use a Brother Label Maker (electronic Dymo type tape) to make the names to stick onto the labels and they also last years. I don't know where to get the copper ones I once had as a handout from the RHS, but aluminium drink cans cut with ordinary scissors would presumably give similar service. Aluminium deodorant sprays are a bit stouter: when it's /empty/, stick an awl in to equalize the slight pressure-difference before cutting (wrap in a cloth if uncomfortable about this, but I see no need). Need to smooth off the edges, of course. I actually meant plain white plastic sticks that you can write on with a pencil. Thanks for the link, Bob. -- Chris |
