 I am in the process of fixing up The Rusted Garden. I hope to do a video tour today. One thing I do is use cedar construction shims for plant markers. Cedar is naturally bug and decay resistant. They are used for thing like lifting door jams during construction. You can find them pretty easily just by asking.

  1. Does that help keep bad bugs away from your plants, or just keep the bugs from destroying your markers? Where are you asking to find them?

  2. I wish the cedar kept the bad bugs away. Perhaps you are on to something but I don't think the wood is strong enough to repel bad bugs.

    It is just to keep the markers from rotting away. I bought mine at Home Depot a while back. They are used for construction and they are called shims.

  3. That's what I figured, but I wanted to double check. Thanks!
