BTW it is madness to encourage sedums to grow in or near your gutters
they will very effectively block them given half a chance.



yes i know, but we all have our little quirks, have a 20 sq metre roof of
sedums that i can watch from my office window at home and i love it. i think
this all stems from my childhood home where my father constantly was up
ladder clearing gutters of what i now know as sedums as they took over.

i plan to have two gutters one at back being the real "one" full of gutter
hedgehogs ( filter brushes to any one who keep koi) and another at front of
this on bracket from fascia this is for sedum(other plant) growth filled
with sandy/compost mix and whats even worse feed of my irrigation systems!!

just starting on a living wall on the back of my house but thats another
project
