First try at an exotic system, had a length of rain gutter. Set it at an angle one end higher an other. Filled it with peat moss. Had rain barrel to empty into the high end, filled from wind mill(what happened to wind mills?). Planted my little pot plants in the gutter one per foot(corn lessons). Took some time to get all ladies, I was just learning. Would constant drip compost tea from rain barrel into high end of gutter to keep low end moist, supported on hog wire fence running the length at the base of wind mill. Short full season. My first real success, got me hooked. This was in'68. Still like just growing in the dirt like granddad did!! He even helped if I helped on the still. Wonder how many laws we broke?
