about a week ago a length of new plastic gutter appeared on a verge i walk the dogs past,as it had not not been retrived in a week i did my civic duty and tidied it away.
im now undecided as to caut it into convenient lengths and
a: fill it with soil for mini salads
or
b: add a small solar pond pump and a res and use it for outdoor hydroponic tomatoes.i have a sunny bit of wall that would be a pain and probably messily damp to water enough soil in containers
Other than that, used a length of gutter with soil in for flowers years back and we found it dried out very readily and wasn't that successful. (Aubretia and the white trailing thing that also flowers in spring can't remember its name - so about the same sort of size as mini-salad stuff.)
