Rain Gutters Part 2

So last year - we hooked up rain gutters to start our seedlings. We thought that we could also keep growing the plants in just the jiffy pods. But they got moldy and didn't work out. 

We've added soil to the gutter and have planted radishes. Since this is also a test, and radishes typically take 30-35 days to mature.

So we weren't sure if the water would actually flow through, would it catch too much soil - clogging the holes, and the weight of all this - could they just eventually fall off the fence? 

It's all a wait and see type of thing. But at least the water moves through the bottom quickly, but slow enough to soak the soil all around and the weight doesn't seem to be a problem. But let's see what happens in 2 weeks...
