Re: pointing flags in you garden
I read this and thought you wanted to know how to get your flag to point out nicely from it's pole.
Doh.

Re: pointing flags in you garden
Best way to do it IMO is to mix accordingly (3 to 1) heap it on to the flags and use a brush to spread it in to the spaces and then go over it with a watering can, not too much water but enough that you get all the pointing moist.
