For those of us who at one time thought mini-blinds were a good idea, the label use comes as a balm for our egos. Between the impossible to dust geometry and the immediate irreparable mangling by house-cats, I had been aching for a reason to discard them within a month of buying them. I have been using a garden marker that survives direct sun for a few years longer than the plastic tags I write on. My plastic tags usually fail from UV embrittlement and shatter into at least three pieces when I stub me finger while reaching for a pot. There is a very poor selection out there for permanent tags and markers for collections.
