Has anyone ever had any luck with putting netting over their gutters as
a matter of principle, and examining what comes out. I mean in a normal
suburb where there is no fall - so that you catch the debris of the
occasional "shooting star". Is there enough small matter coming down to
make this worth while?

I basically need an excuse to first of all steal a few stockings, and
then get permission to use them on the house! For a few micro's it would
be worth the argument.=20

If we look at the high numbers (2000 tonnes a year?) that are meant to
fall to earth, a roof is the best catchment area that is practical.
