The Cook’s Garden and Chloe’s Rain Gutter Garden

Guests are fascinated by my Rain Gutter Garden. My tomatoes, eggplants, basil, radishes, and beets are planted in 5-gallon mud buckets using compost from our compost bin. These are watered from the bottom with an elaborate system of irrigation that runs through a 5-inch pipe. They are almost maintenance-free after you get them going.
