Title: Another idea for labeling seedlings
Post by: Radium on June 05, 2015, 09:59:31 PM
I was eating an ice-cream, and this idea just popped in my head. Ice-cream wooden sticks!
We can write the species names on one end, and put the other end inside the soil.
There's also the physician's variation of these sticks which are broader but more expensive because they're "Medical", sterile and blah blah...

I will save the sticks whenever I eat an ice-cream from now on.

You get more pieces faster for free when you grab a hand full of the more narrow wooden sticks each time you buy a coffee-to-go or something.

You could also use plastic forks, spoons and knives, and those are available in just about every fast food joint around!

Wood for life!
What kind of marker did you use for writing on them?
The letters look like you've burned them down into the wood.

A stick with a writing surface shaved off with a hatchet, or some such, would also work.
