Reclaimed Gutters create a DIY Verticle Garden

May 14th, 2009 by mark

When Suzanne Forsling moved to Juneau Alaska from Iowa, she found that it was a little bit harder to get her eco garden to grow.  Frustrated by cold soil, scarce sunlight, hungry slugs, root maggots, porcupines, cats, bears and ravens she got resourceful.  She got her crops off the cold ground and into the light by afixing gutters to the wood siding of her house on the sunny side and using them as planters.  A great eco-friendly solution.

This is a great use of space and it looks really cool even eco chic. Also if you have a bad back which many eco gardeners have then this can reduce the amount fof time you have to bend down to weed your eco plants.
