Please do post pictures as things progress!!

Excellent idea, now I know what to do with some gutters I have sitting behind the barn.

Hey, it should be just about salad time by now. Any pictures yet?

Hubby and I loved this idea so much that we attached a gutter to a couple of posts that hold up our second story deck. Now we're wondering if radishes, spinach, herbs and such would like it in the gutter-garden.

Well, Potter, are your gutters growing? Inquiring minds want to know!!!

I have been dying for an update too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you noticed how many of the people who responded on this thread are no longer posting? Guess they moved on............

Yeah, and it wasn't really all that long ago . . .

This was one of the very few threads that I "subscribed" to. You know, TEG sends me an email when someone posts something. I guess I was afraid that we would have an update during the summer when I'm busy and I'd miss it. I was very interested in how those gutters would work for growing salad crops . . .

I just unsubscribed -- it is time to "move on" in that way. If I want to know about this technique I'll just have to do it myself! Maybe a "retirement" project but anyway . . . 2013 is just a few hours away!!!

Hmm, I have a fence around my house, I can attach 3 levels of gutters on it! I don't see why this wouldn't work. The best part of this idea, is that the rabbits wont be able to eat the lettuce before I do! Now only to find a way to set this up with drip irrigation. Just sow in some lettuce seeds and I would be good to go!
