I am working on a project for the 2017
growing season to work my way through
100 garden hacks*. |
Garden Hack #2: Plant Markers (repurpose)
Have one of these collections?
You can turn them into easy plant markers for a quick way to keep up with a large amount of seed sowing (like early spring when
testing all those leftover seeds from last year). It can get as decorative as you want, like the photos below of some I used on a seed project with kids. I wanted to jazz them up a little for some fun & individuality.

| I used nail polish because it has become a staple for garden use. It already designed for easy application in small areas, and it holds up well to weathering at least for a season; non-toxic varieties are increasingly easier to find, too, if that's a concern for you. |
|
|
| Other, more perfunctory, easy labeling methods can just involve a sharpie, maybe even some tape. |
I liked this hack because besides helping with a large amount of spring plantings while requiring little planning or expense, it also helped spring-clean out the drawer of disposable takeout accoutrement.
