I have used the Artline Garden Marker Reliably
I have used this product - the Artline Garden Marker with tip size 0.8mm - reliably, for a "couple" of years now. Actually for 5 years! One pen from my original purchase has a damaged end cap chewed up by the dog; but the marker still works, since the disfigurement did not compromise the air-tight cap. Looks like my previous purchase was a box of 12 of them in July, 2020. And now, October 2025, I have purchased 6 more. Mainly, they are good to use with white Plastic garden label 'stakes' (from China ℅ Ali Express). Those Garden ID stakes have a flat area to write on that is about 2" x 4" (?), and a long "stake" to insert into the ground near your plant.You can write in large print on the visible upturned portion, and even add a few details on the back or underside. The ink really does hold up well. The ARTLINE marked Stakes have been outdoors for as many as 5 years in CT - all seasons and are still readable. Highly recommended, and in my experience, Artline is better for this garden job than alternates such as versions of paint pens and sharpies.
