No Outdoor Space? Try Gutter Gardens

Posted on | April 29, 2009 | 12 Comments

I love this garden idea! Great for tip for urban living. Attach gutters to the back of a house/building or to a fence. Gutters are available in many different sizes which makes them ideal for fitting into a small space. Brilliant!

I have these gardens already (I really just need to clean my real gutters.) The repairman called them the Gardens of Babylon.

I love it – I’m always looking for new gardening ideas and techniques. Times are tough and I think we’re going to see more and more people growing their own food – fabulous! Thank you!

good luck when the pest control inspector shows up and tells you you have dry rot from watering the guttergarden. Very expensive radishes.

This is ingenious! Great use of gutters to save space and save money on store bought food.

Thanks for sharing.

This. is. brilliant. I’ve got a whole section of fence that I’ve been rather neglecting… and I’m planning to put a garden out next to it. Thank you for just doubling my space!!
