Autumn is a time for planting seeds & cuttings for next year. Annuals such as sweet peas & poppies, edible bulbs like onions & garlic and cuttings from woody herbs such as rosemary & lavender. To remember what seeds you planted where and when, eco plant labels are a must.
Use plant labels that are either biodegradable or reusable. The bamboo version we’ve featured can be both these things, breaking down after a few years of use. Write the names of your plants on the slate labels using a permanent ink marker (either black or white ink). The aluminium plant labels can be marked using a carbide-tipped scriber. Finding broken bits of plastic plant markers in our compost heap is infuriating!
