Breakdown
Full review
Pink flags for visible station notes
Swanson FPG15100 Pink Marking Flags are small temporary markers for sprinkler routes, output checks, bed edges, and lawn repair notes. The pack includes 100 flags with 15 inch wire staffs.
The pink color gives a station check its own cue when several readings, heads, or route points are being watched.
Helpful beside cups and sprinkler heads
Place a flag beside each cup location before running a station. After the run, write the cup spot, run time, and water depth on a field card. The flag keeps the place visible while the written note stays clean and readable.
That same routine works for a head that needs height work, a dry edge that needs a return visit, or a newly seeded patch that needs careful watering.
A tidy seasonal refill
A 100-pack gives the garden shelf enough markers for repeated checks. Store extras upright in a small bin so the wire staffs stay straight.
Gather used flags after the note is finished. That keeps paths, lawns, and bed edges ready for the next work session.
Good use
Choose these flags for sprinkler station mapping, catch-cup placement, seed patch edges, temporary hose routes, and short lawn notes that need a visible point in the yard.
