Labels for seed pots

Dear Roger,

After 50 years of experimentation I have come up with something that might
be useful. It is really not very costly and I have found it to be durable
even in the intense heat of southern India. I don't know about commercially
available labels in the U.S. but others have written to you about them. I
have had to find scrap aluminum pieces and have them cut to the size I need
which is not difficult to do and the aluminum doesn't deteriorate.

My solution for labeling is this: I purchased a Brother PT-1830 label maker
from Image Supply. The machines are not expensive. I also purchased a
refurbished model PT-1830 to have as a second machine and it works
perfectly. The labels come in varying widths and the machine prints three
sizes so you can get more information on a label if you use the smallest
size. The label maker is very easy to use. I purchased the TZ industrial
labels that have an excellent adhesive and after a year in the baking sun I
still can't pull them off even though many of the plastic labels I initially
used have broken in the extreme heat.

I hope this may be of some interest to you.

All the best,

Narad, Richard Eggenberger
