Plant markers from ceramic tiles.


After considering my garden marker options in a recent post, we cut some ceramic tiles for use in the garden beds.  As far as I can tell so far ceramic tiles are an ideal medium with which to signpost your plantings.

You need the largest size rectangular tile you can get ...and a tile cutter large enough to accommodate the tile's length. Some skill is required to use the tool but if you can handle the slice-ing motion there's little waste.

All things considered these markers should last a very long time sitting in the dirt despite all weathers. If you accidentally bury them they are soon enough resurrected.
