I dont have gutters and I get a lot of run off. What I do is notice the line where the water hits the ground and I plant flowers a good foot in front of that water line. Under the waterline I pile mulch as deep as I can make it. I use shredded leaves that I rake up from the yard. I use pine needles and I use sticks. This mulch soaks up the water but keeps the water from battering the plants. The plants that are in front of this mulch benefit from having the ground under the mulch be nice and wet but diverting all the direct hits from the roof. You can plant just about anything if you have a lot of sun. What I have put in this spot is Epimedium which has great foliage, spreads out and can get hit occasionally with hard rain and have no problem. I also have Angels Trumpets and Missouri Primrose.<br><b>References : </b><br> I have the same situation. I dont have gutters and I get a lot of run off.
