Hey James

Appreciate the insight and great idea.  Once I could not read them. I
shredded them into recycling.  Now though as an evolved plastic plant
tagger…I’ve gone back to basics # 2 pencil and tucked the tags down into
the side of the pots…not perfect…but I had 200 tags I wanted to use up, and
have gradually replaced tags as needed and I like the writing space on the
tags I have.  I will though going forward press the lead into the tag and
create that slight imprint! Just to have a little more protection of the
label.
In hindsight maybe the tags curling from the beginning was not a good sign
either :)

So far so good with pencil and tucking the tag ( written side pot facing )
into the pot.

Have a great evening
