Re: Plant Labels
I've always used those aluminum ones with the teeny wire attached that you scratch in the name. That works fine for small branches on most trees, but I'm a bit baffled by how to label bananas. I tried writing on the stem with a paint marker, but eventually the leaf would peal down.
I've been thinking of using that green tie tape and writing with a permanent marker on that. But a permanent marker won't even last as long as the tape.
and little marker stakes always seem to get kicked over or lost in the mulch.
So at present, I've just made a map and have no labels.
Actually,now that I think of it, I noticed at Joe Real's house, he used those aluminum tags WITH the green tie tape. But I think he must have drilled out big holes for those to pass the tape through.
