Gardening in the gutter

[jcorn]

This idea was passed along in our Garden Club newsletter this month.  I have a yard, but the sunny side has the absolute worst soil and the moles are a constant nuisance.  I would also suggest using these along a deck/balcony railing or a fence.  I'm sure there are some kinds of clips that could be used to avoid damage.

Awe great idea your plants look like they are flourishing too!

What a good idea. The soil here is well pretty much clay and rock so you can't have a real garden, so this would be perfect. I love how it looks too, so much prettier than making a garden in a plastic kiddie pool which has sense been the only solution I've had.

Thanks for sharing this clever idea! I may need to try this on the side of my ugly garden shed. It would really dress it up nicely.

So clever an idea !
but there be new troubles that you should take much more care of them ，they are easy to dry or watering too much ！

Greens, herbs, and sugar peas would be the best bet. nightshade plants (i.e. tomatoes, squash) & roots would not work because of their weight and the obvious limitation on space.
