The Growing Gardener Cool Tip #1


Easy, Free and Recycled Seed Markers

Three of The Growing Gardener's favorite things. The next time you're throwing out some old mini-blinds, don't. Cut them into 4 inch pieces and use them to identify your plants. Write the name of the plant on the inner side of the curve, along with the starting date, sprouting date, harvesting date, etc. They can travel from your sprouting shed to the garden right inside your peat pots, or better
yet - homemade newspaper pots (I'll show you how to make them later).

One small mini-blind will give you and all your closest friends enough markers for about a lifetime. And if you're really frugal, you can turn the marker over and use the other end for next year's garden.
