Pencil does last well. My long lasting favorite for hand
use is the Listo brand wax markers. A bit coarse for much
detail, though. And Listo's red wax did not last.
What I usually use is a laser printer on clear Avery brand
address labels. The laser melts the text into the plastic of
the clear label. The tag production process is a bit
expensive and time consuming. Once they are in the data
base (MS Access), however, it is easy to make copies
(with much detail). I stick them on pot labels, though, they
would stick well to clean mini blind slats. They last really
well and last even better when buried. KellyO
