So I am pleased you have corrected me on my advise. Your suggestion of using a 4B is a real winner. I have been using a HB, no wonder I have been finding it hard to write on the glossy plastic.<br /><br /><b>Kate</b> I am very impressed with your resourcefulness.Jason Dingleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332208335330160649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212976055144932291.post-91391542687261438702012-01-19T20:58:56.758+10:302012-01-19T20:58:56.758+10:30Old, metal venetian blinds.

People will often give me a bag of containers 'for the garden' though and I do re-use as many as I can.<br /><br />I find the marker pens fade in the sun but a 4B pencil mark stays put and is easily erased away for the next crop. <br />If there are any disease problems they would be best cleaned and soaked in a household bleach solution when you clean out and soak the pots for re-using.<br /><br />Another thing I do for more permanent pots is write on the pot itself with a 'chinagraph' pencil or whiteout. Again these will scrub off when cleaning the pots.<br /><br />I found the paddle pop sicks discoloured quickly and I couldn't read what was written on them!Scarecrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163390487517340872noreply@blogger.com
