Rock Garden Markers. Need: Large, smooth stones, fabric scraps, pinking shears, letter stamps, ink pad, iron, craft glue, outdoor matte or glossy varnish, brush. Cut fabric w/pinking shears so that it mostly covers the top of the stone. Stamp name of plant on fabric & let dry. Iron to set ink. Put small dots of glue around edge of back of fabric & set on top of the stone. Brush thick coat of varnish over fabric & down around edges of rock. Let dry completely. Repeat w/ 2nd coat & let dry.
Ok now... I need to try this - "Stones painted as strawberries, when put around strawberry plants in the spring, will keep birds from eating your berries when they ripen because the birds will think the ripened berries are stones." Guess the birds peck these and think all the berries are rocks.

The newspaper will prevent any grass and weed seeds from germinating, but unlike fabric, it will decompose after about 18 months. By that time, any grass and weed seeds that were present in the soil on planting will be dead. It’s green, it’s cheaper than fabric, and when you decide to remove or redesign the bed later on, you will not have the headache you would with fabric.
