RE: DIY Planting Garden Planting Labels for Seedlings

I never would have thought about doing something like this. I fully admit I know little about types of wood, even though I have tons of scraps out in the shed. What type of wood were us using because you made it look very easy. I have a bunch of broken pallets that have greyed nicely from being outside. I wonder how easy they would be to cut?

ohh, this post has already been added to the Sotall Directory and will be showcased in Mondays newsletter. That account is out of upvotes right now and will get you before the newsletter posts.

Oh I never heard of Sotall... thanks for letting me know about this. I'll have to check it out and see what it's all about!

I don't know a heck of a lot about wood either, but enough to be dangerous it seems :) I think it is 1x4 or 1x6 and it is pretty soft wood. You could look through your scraps for pieces without knots and that have straight grain and that should work well. If the grain is angled or curved it wouldn't make nice straight pieces. Same goes for your pallet wood.
