Non bpa gutter garden diy system.

We ve worked our way through many many watering cans and wands. The picture on the left shows the gutter garden i built but there are lots of different styles and materials you can use. Upgrading our garden irrigation system has been on the back burner. Plant nasturtiums into smaller pieces of gutter along with chives dill or lemon balm.

The fragrance of the herbs repels aphids and other pests while flowers of nasturtiums act as a trap for the pests. Until this point we have sort of limped along mostly hand watering creating semi automated diy drip systems and experimenting with various soaker hoses. I ve seen others that run back and forth diagonally to create an easy watering system. This can save a considerable amount of money when compared to other vertical gardening options.

The downward slope of the gutter design makes for easy drainage the vertical framework makes saving space simple and because it is a diy gardening project you only pay for the cost of materials. Some people make hanging gutter gardens that are not attached to a wall.
