Yes, looks like you'd need 1000' of gutter, but as Kate says, it's totally reusable. You'd need 100 pcs of 10' gutter. If the gutter is 6" wide, you'd need a space of 10' x 50' in a hoophouse to do the job. I guess it's up to the individual grower to decide if this is a) feasible and b) worth the investment. Gutter pretty cheap.

Do I understand you correctly that for 1000 row feet of peas you would
need 1000 feet of gutter?
