One other thought is to put a QR code on the signs as well. Any ideas of how to do that and where to send the QR link?

One option for simple signs would be metal that would eventually biodegrade.
In our case, the high school has a fab lab where you can use their fancy laser/CNC equipment. They have a plastic sheet with a black layer in it. You come up with a sign and upload it and the laser blasts away the black to make your letters/images. It can also cut out the border of the sign and do mounting holes all in the same process. So I suspect we'll go with that even though it's plastic :(
Determining the difference between Bockings 4 and 14 is done by consensus. It's like trying to identify the difference between twins.

Are those the funny, squiggly boxes people use their phones to access? That means they have to have a phone, right? So why not just use a regular web address they can take a picture of, but try to make sure it's simple enough that's it's not too messy to type in at home, or that google can find just with local keywords?Mike Haasl wrote:One other thought is to put a QR code on the signs as well.

Qr codes just turn text into an easily scannable form, so as long as the link doesn't change it can be anything you can write in text.

I love the snake on the pole for medicine! And a dinner plate or chicken drumstick could work for the food icon.
What about icons for mulch, dynamic accumulator or insectiary? If those should even be icons...

In the UK most people would have a phone and use a QR code. Maybe that is not so in the states, or is that on this forum are a lot of off-grid permies who disconnect from the usual?

I do custom wood sign engraving with black inlay. Let me know if I can help you out.
I do these free hand, not with a CNC machine. They are also designed to pass the test of time.
Let me know if you need my help,
John Bowden

Mike Haasl wrote: I think we'll have stakes in the ground. I'm not sure what kind, possibly galvanized EMT (conduit) pipe flattened and bent on the top to bolt the sign to. I want to avoid wood since it rots in about two years here in the ground. I'm very open to suggestions for mounting stakes that would be affordable and durable. I think we'll need over 100 of them...
