More Sub-irrigated Rain Gutter Garden Ideas (from Inside Urban Green)

More Sub-irrigated Rain Gutter Garden Ideas

Shane Cole, Hersey PA, built these rain gutter sub-irrigation (SIP) systems and Larry Hall (inventor of the basic system) posted them in a video.
The two modifcations of interest are the framing system and the tote boxes. I'm wondering if the tote box SIPs have two wicks instead of just one as used with the buckets.
You can see how easy it would be to conceal the plastic containers by adding some decorative siding material, much like you would to conceal kitchen or bathroom plumbing. I'm sure we will see many more "cabinet" style planters using the rain gutter system in the future.
