Writing labels?

Dear all, how good are the pens which they sell for writing on labels; how long does the writing last and how often do labels have to be replaced/re-written?

P.

I use pencil - good old pencil HB quality. It last for about 3 years, which ia far more than any other pen I've tried.

I use pencil , too

Same here pencil to, thats what i use marking my plant ID tags.

The darkest artist's pencils work the best!

Well this is not good, today while potting up my new semp kids sure enough i had forgottin to order more plastic tag/lables.. DOH!! Im getting to old.. LOL!! We need a ol granny smiley.. So i need to hurry and order me more plastic plant tags.. So i improvised and used good ol thick plain white paper and marker and then taped that to the pots..

If you cut up a white bleach bottle with a pair of scissors, you will have many "free" plant labels that will last at least 3 years.

Got a idea from a good friend of mine that he uses old mini blind slats cut to size for plant tags that he uses when he runs out of the regular tags. He said he was gona send me some if he does will post pics of how they turn out..
