Part of my reno's for this year included eave troughs (gutters). I kept most of the old stuff that was in decent shape, And when I get the new ones installed, I am going to buy a bunch of extra end caps
I don't want them on the side of the house like this link, but I think they'd work well along the railing on the upper deck, possibly along the fence around the garden, on the side of the garden shed, and maybe even a few on my hunting shack...

The hard part will be keeping moisture in there, especially if we have a hot dry summer again. For that I am thinking of running a soaker hose along the back, on top of the soil, or on the bottom, under the soil.
eta: If I have time yet this fall, I am going to set up a few little 2 footers for by the inside windows of my sunroom. be nice to have fresh herbs all winter
