#askNostr gardeners, homesteaders and permies
Do you have a reliable way to label your fruit trees and bushes? I don't have a printer and we have different varieties that I want to keep track of (for pollination, for propagation and sharing).
I'll be working on a decent map but our land is hilly and complex - lots of nooks and crannies - so that's challenging, and I'd love some kind of tag that can go on or next to each one. Permanent marker on normal plant labels are fading within a season for me.

ok, this sounds permanent. Thank you. I don't know if we have a Dremel but I'll check.
Rotary tools like Dremel are fairly cheap and handy to have around. I make the wire loops bigger to leave room for the branch to expand, but also check on them every year when pruning.
