Repurpose old house gutters into stunning gutter gardens. Decorate the side of a building with a living garden. Short on space, no problem! These small gardens require minimal space and care. Plant small vegetables or herbs in the gutter gardens and watch them flourish.

Instructions:
Step 1 – Clean the old gutters with a mild dish soap. Allow the gutters to dry.
Step 2 – Locate a location on the side of a building for the gutters. Place them at a height that is easy to reach. I suggest from the shoulders down.
Step 3 – Secure the gutters to the building.
Step 4 – Add potting soil and seeds.
Step 5 – Water and maintain. Harvest the vegetables and herbs when ready.
Paint the old gutters if desired. Choose a spray paint that is compatible to the gutter material.
