you could use an old door and recycle it just cutting out the center pieces! Recycle reuse! Save a tree!

Why wouldn't you just attached the cutters to the fence poles? Why the frame?

You say the pocket holes are easy, but don't show how to do it!

This would be great for succulents!

Did the lettuce grow in there, or they were transplanted in it for the purpose of this video...because wow, they looked great!

very good

Thanks for this ideas

Very gooooood!

i like this. i will try to do one. :-) thanks for sharing.

This could be a lot classier with a copper or stainless steel halfpipe instead. This project just seems.... Cheap? I know they are trying to cater to the whole pinterest/kit based DIY crowed. But I feel like this could be better. To each his own I guess.

very good thank you x

Great idea! With a little modification to your plan, I can install a single gutter along my west facing deck railing - lettuce just off the kitchen...brilliant, easy and cheap solution!

What.edible plants can you grow in the Gutter Garden?

Cool idea, but might rather sub aluminum.

Can lettuce grow in 3.5 inch depth?

I love this idea, but I worry about PVC in my veggies. Isn't this gutter material made from PVC?

brian plz list yr how to site

why do all the women have such an annoying scratchy voice?

Choose another material to use over vinyl if your going to be growing food in the garden. Vinyl leach into the dirt and water and into your food. I'm surprised Lowe's recommended vinyl over aluminum.

It would probably work much better from a drainage and over watering/under watering standpoint to just install the gutters level and drill sets of drainage holes along the entire length of the gutters. The concept is kool, no doubt. But what are we really trying to achieve?

If you think the last plant in the bottom gutter will receive the same amount of water as the first plant in the top gutter, you're fooling yourself. Some plants will suffer from too much water, others from too little. Just install them level and allow the water to seek it's own level. Nature has never failed us here. Plus you won't have to explain to everyone that sees it that you hung the gutters crooked on purpose.
