Best way to label trees?
Comments (24)Good to have labels on the tree for a quick glance, also good for your kids and friends visiting / picking fruits. Also good when cutting scions. Those Leevalley labels would be too small for me, I want them large so you can read from a distance! Fast and easy is a must for me,..stamping would make it too slow, I can write larger, [or smaller] and faster right out by the tree free hand with a cordless engraver. I just take a bunch of cut labels and wires out to the garden. Double up the wire holes, so labels don't spin in the wind and facing always to you for the ease of reading....See MoreBest way to label
Comments (12)I keep a spreadsheet in "Windows Works" in the computer. It is in alphbetical order. I put T or D, then Hybridizer and year it was hybridized, then Height, Width of flower, and Color. It looks like this: Arrayed In Splendor T Bell '02 28" 6" Rose Pink W/Yellow Edge Using only one line across page. I get the 21" Markers from Paw Paw and I use Brother P Touch Labeler (about $49,00 at Office Max but worth it) with Laminated Tape. On the marker I put NAME and under that T, BELL 02 28" 6". Don't use the plastic labels with the Dyno labeler. They are turning so orange/brown I am having to replace them with laminated ones. I use Tinkers to get my information. Add DL names to spreadsheet as you buy new DLs. Then print it and take outside with your label maker. I enjoy sitting in chair and making the labels outside. I hope this helps. Below is one of the labels that I am replacing with Laminated ones. Sarah...See MoreBest Marker for Daylily Labels
Comments (24)The little dog is adorable! I have tried a lot of labels and labeling materials over the years and now prefer the Stainless Steel plant markers by Wren. I like to purchase these markers in lots of 50 online through a company called Bosmere for the best price. I used to mark the plant name with special pens for this purpose and the ink only lasted about 3 to 5 years. So about 8 years ago I converted to the Brother p-touch TZe label tape to identify all my plants. This tape is laminated for outdoor use and to prevent fading from UV rays. It is also water resistant. The labels still look as good as the day I put them on. The stainless steel markers are great because they can be cleaned and relabeled if a plant leaves the garden....See MorePost-It Label Roll Tape is the BEST helper during the renovation
Comments (7)Spread the word, lol! I remember reading how much contractors hate customers posting notes and markers all over the place. They will just love this! Personally, I think it's an easy and effective technique. If they pay attention to them. I have generally not found them to pay attention to much, whether it be in verbal, list, drawings or post-it note form. Especially with the foreign laborers that get sent in, who would probably read them if they could. What a waste of time and energy trying to communicate. You just get whatever they wanted to do, The way they always do it. Which is usually in their own special way....See Morelucky_p
