I had some old gutters that we'd removed from the house. Great, I'd thought...I can upcycle these into a cool vertical garden! http://www.lavendeandlemonade.com/2016/04/gutter-planters-pinterest-failand-why.html
Suggested materials:
  • Gutters   (recycled)
  • Fence   (existing)

    There is a good way to use these for growing plants, but it's a lot more involved than this. See rain gutter grow systems. You can get higher yield gardens with less work.
