How to make durable plant markers

Step 4 Place the marker

That's it! Now you just need to take the marker outside and stick it in the ground near your overcrowded clump of bulbs. You may not want to stick the marker right in the middle of the clump since you might damage a bulb by piercing it. That's not so much a concern with cheap crocus or daffodils but with my expensive lilies I'm much more careful to avoid poking into a bulb.

I've been looking for this method for the school garden I help with,
should save us a fortune, I always try to re-use whenever possible as part of Eco-schools.
I even have all the tools necessary so no cost outlay.

Wish I had seen this before I went and bought a bunch of metal, somewhat costly ones, from the garden place. Thanks for sharing, and when I run out of those, I will be trying your idea. This ranks up there with cutting up miniblinds for using as white plastic write-on stakes for pots and such, for recycling and frugality.
