throw away guttering recycled

I have discovered that a piece of old, white, plastic rain guttering makes a brilliant pea and bean seed growing container. My seeds grow exceptiona­lly well in good garden mix in some old guttering; when my plants pop through the soil and are big enough to be transplant­ed into the garden, I simply slide the seedlings out of the guttering and into a prepared channel in the ground. And that means less disturbanc­e when transferri­ng the seedlings, which means a better start for my peas and beans.
