Rain Gutter Grow System by Larry Hall is there anyone doing this??

Question

Searching for others here who have used this system.

Christine · Answer

My neighbor is doing this, but he's not online. If there's something you'd like to ask him? He's got strawberries and some tomatoes in his. He has rows and rows.

Mart Hale · Answer

Hi Christine, We have a group of over 3,000 members worldwide on facebook who do this. I want to find out how it works for others, I love the system myself, and wanted to find out how big the community of people here are since there are so many gardeners here. https://www.facebook.com/groups/144745362329424/.

I guess my question is how do I get the word out about the Rain Gutter System here on Home Talk? I am new to hometalk ( I am familar with youtube and Pintrest ). Thanks for your response.

Help answer this question...I'm just waiting on the weather to clear here in Monroe, Louisiana so I can start mine. I have been collecting five gallon buckets for the last few months.I plan on one section right away with more to follow as my neighbors see how easy this gardening system is.

Judy · Answer

I don't see any rain gutters in your pictures. All I see are some containers that look like laundry baskets, a few pots & a regular garden bed. Some pictures of the system & a tutorial would be nice for those of us who have never done this.

I often ponder the beautiful rain water that flows down the drain from the gutter on my deck. Is there any way to do this on a small scale?

Mart Hale · Answer

Sure thing Judy, I will create posts for each of these types. I am still on the learning curve here :-)

Mart Hale · Answer

Delores, the pop bottle garden, or the kiddie pool is awesome for small scale. Kiddie http://www.pinterest.com/mart85yahoocom/larry-halls-kiddie-pool-system/ Pop Bottle http://www.pinterest.com/mart85yahoocom/larry-halls-pop-bottle-system/

Well... given the snow, a pic will have to wait a bit! :) 
I was trying to figure out what to do with how deep you bury a tomato plant. So when he comes around this year, I'll let you know.

Christine · Answer

Actually, Judy, my neighbor also grows some of the shallow rooted plants in the gutters, too. Somehow he's got an irrigation system in place that augments the gutters.

I know how one plants a tomato plant, but thank you. Many people do not and their plants don't survive drought, etc. You SHOULD break up the root ball of any plant you're taking out of a nursery container. Goodness knows how rootbound those things can be, right? 
Thanks for the well wishes, but that's my neighbor. I don't grow edibles because you lose all your friends. Doesn't mean I don't know, though. :)

It is interesting to learn how rain gutters can affect gardens. What a neat watering idea. I am excited to try this with my garden. http://northwestraingutters.com/commercial-gutters/
