Inserting the aluminum label into the soil here results in corrosion to the label after a year or so, and adding aluminum salts to the soil isn't a desirable result, so putting the label on a wire "stand" is helpful. Label tapes do last a long time, though they often fade--red seems to be especially bad. The lettering is still there, but you have to look closely--which isn't always a bad thing. Ken
