Gardening Tip #1 - Yoplait Plant ID Tags

As mentioned before we have a decent size garden at our place. One of the things that's important is labeling my plants. I found a way to recycle Yo plait yogurt containers into plant tags. I've also included pictures:) All you really need is a pair of scissors and a #2 pencil to mark the tags with.

Make sure to wash out the yogurt containers first. I usually fill them up with water and let them soak for a day before drying and cutting.

Start making a cut from the top of the container down to the bottom and then make a hard left ( or right) and follow the rim all the way around until the bottom is completely cut off.

Then start cutting the body piece into parallel strips about 1/2" to 3/4" wide. Leave enough space to write on.

With each strip, cutting sharp wedges to create a spear like effect.

Write on the clear white side of the tags. Don't use any felt tip pens on your tags. They will fade with sun exposure.

Wah Lah !!!!
