themattsmith: adventuresincreativereuse: Just getting ready for doing my own gutter garden. Thought I’d share a little “research” with you. metrogarden: looks like 6 gutters angled slightly so the water flows and rains to a gutter below. and the final gutter drains into a horse trough with some more plants growing. there’s also a solar panel on top, for a water pump? nice. I’ve always been intrigued about a set-up like this.  I wonder what they use for the growing substrate that doesn’t get washed away with the water.  I’ve seen people use gravel or other solid materials, but there doesn’t even seem to be anything containing it.
