Growing Veggies On A Roof - Green Roofs For Urban Sustainability
Here is a pic of a marvelous little vegetable roof.
The green roof is comprised of a waterproofing membrane of existing sloped (4:12) asphalt shingles, a layer of wind mesh, 20 mm of 96% inorganic soil media and lots of spring mix veggies!
The apparatus in the background is a vapor net installed to capture morning dew and hair water vapor. The dew collector concept is quite simple but very effective and provides all the irrigation this little rooftop veggie garden needs.
Green roofs can be so simple is design yet so successful in contributing to urban sustainability!
