Upgrading our garden irrigation system has been on the back burner.
Non bpa gutter garden diy system.
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.
When gutters are painted and a few holes are drilled into the bottom you ve got a homemade planter perfect for your garden.
Various types of diy gutter gardens.
We ve worked our way through many many watering cans and wands.
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.
Until this point we have sort of limped along mostly hand watering creating semi automated diy drip systems and experimenting with various soaker hoses.
Some people make hanging gutter gardens that are not attached to a wall.
I ve seen others that run back and forth diagonally to create an easy watering system.
These vertical green wonders can dress up boring wooden fences walls windows or hung up to create privacy screens.
