How to Make Wood Slice Garden Markers

In this post I’ll be sharing How to Make Wood Slice Garden Markers.

We planted our garden this year, and looking for a good way to stencil some garden markers for the different rows of produce. 

I decided to use some of the logs from the wood pile and some leftover 2×4 planks to make wood slice garden markers.

I was going to use a chainsaw to cut lots of wood slices, but because of all of our different saws either being left at or borrowed by family members, I reverted to using a reciprocating saw, and it worked just ok. 

Anyway all that to say that I only cut 2 slices until we get some of our more capable saws back to do the job.

After the 2 wood slices were cut I cut one of the planks in half, then cut them at the tips to make stakes out of them.

They actually had a natural hole in the wood slice, so no pre-drilling was necessary. 

I simply drilled the wood slice and stake together using one screw and they hold great.

Then I stenciled “peas” and “spinach” on the wood slices, and sealed the fronts where I stenciled them with a coat of polyurethane. 

I didn’t bother super sealing them because I’m honestly not worried if they don’t last more than a season because these were so easy I could simply make more next year. 

I have some more garden markers to make, but at least I got these 2 made.  The stencils I used on these garden markers can be found here.

I used a hammer to drive the stakes into the ground.
