Labels for seed pots

Rodger,

Myself and Michael make the labels out of Venetian vinyl blinds that we
purchase at Wal-Mart. The best size is their 39" length, as they make 6, 6
1/2" labels. For the cost of about $4.00 US, you can make 100's of them. We
use a number 2 pencil to write on them and they last about 4 years in the
fields with our hot sun and longer in the shade house, since they are UV
resistant they work great!
All the best,
Paul Machado & Michael Homick
