Any advice on repurposing copper gutters?

I saved the copper gutters when new ones were installed on my home. I'd like to use them to hang on the patio wall and fill with soil for strawberry plants. Has anyone done this? Can you provide instructions? Thanks.

I google it and gardeners suggested to not plant in them unless you use them as a holder. Maybe look for rectangle shape trays at the local garden shop!! Good luck and have fun!!! -

I love the idea of hanging them on your patio wall. You could plant trailing plants, succulents, etc., in them as well.Whatever you do, don't throw them away. If you ever decide you no longer want them, sell them or take them to a scrap dealer. Copper is really valuable nowadays.
