Brother Garden Labeller
Kitchen Garden magazine is promoting this labeller (Brother P-touch
Garden Labeller 100) which uses adhesive tape which is supposed not to fade in the sun, etc. I wondered whether anyone had tried it or something similar - though I think it's quite a new product so it's probably too early to test out the claim not to fade. It sells at about £35. Janet G |

I've heard mention of this from local gardeners, who claim the labels really do stick to those zinc markers, and don't fade in sunlight. May try it myself, since regular sharpie is nearly illegible late in the summer. Here's a google lookup that spoke glowingly: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...92630?v=glance It probably prints better than I. A doctor writing prescriptions prints better than I...

used P-Touch tapes on flower pots and trays without any problems.. Steve Gittins "Kate Morgan" wrote in message . ..

Gittins writes I work for Brother in the UK and , although I might be slightly biased, I've used P-Touch tapes on flower pots and trays without any problems.. Is there anything special about this particular model re gardening, or is it (As I assume) just a repackaging exercise? It doesn't seem to be listed on the website. -- Chris French and Helen Johnson, Leeds urg Suppliers and References FAQ: http://www.familyfrench.co.uk/garden/urgfaq/index.html |

The message
from Chris French and Helen Johnson contains these words: In message , Steve Gittins writes I work for Brother in the UK and , although I might be slightly biased, I've used P-Touch tapes on flower pots and trays without any problems.. Is there anything special about this particular model re gardening, or is it (As I assume) just a repackaging exercise? It doesn't seem to be listed on the website. -- Chris French and Helen Johnson, Leeds urg Suppliers and References FAQ: http://www.familyfrench.co.uk/garden/urgfaq/index.html It's on www.touchlabelling.co.uk. From what I gather, other Brother labellers take the laminated tape which is what you'd need for gardening, but this particular one is much cheaper, smaller and more limited in the kind of labels it produces than other machines made by Brother. It seems to be designed just to give you strips to stick onto normal cheap plastic plant labels. I've succumbed and ordered one, so I'll report back when I've had a go. Janet G |
