This idea is one I will be doing with strawberries & lettuce. I saw it in a magazine - get guttering and attach it to what ever you have - along the wood deck or as with me, we will attach rows of plastic, new guttering along the back side of our garage.

I will add some water crystals and a few drain holes and put 3 or 4 rows up. I'm sure you can find good, used guttering, but since our building is new I want to get new so it's nice and neat. Keeps bunnies away too.

Can you show us a photo of your project Kathy. It sounds very interesting.

Here is the picture I saw after a google search.....

That really is quite cleaver. Has anyone else used that method?

What a coincidence, I just "pinned" this idea on Pinterest the other day but these were hanging gutters used as a living screen! http://www.marthastewart.com/2... I'm thinking even "one" would be pretty cool! Obviously copper isn't for everyone's budget, including mine, but I know where I can find metallic copper paint!

My head is spinning with all the great container ideas that have been popping up here at ATP.
Debbie, the hanging gutters are amazing. about the copper paint.
