Roof gardens have always been popular, particularly with urban dwellers, who may not have the luxury of space. Our roof top soil bed garden can cover the entire rooftop with various plants, on raised beds. We found this most affordable and convenient option, since raised bed can be made up of all sorts of materials. On the other hand, there are a few things to consider before thinking about that vegetable/fruit/flower patch on the roof.
Raised beds are essentially large containers. They can be made up of anything from wooden boxes, concrete boxes, barrels cut in half, or readymade one. Raised beds are raised off the ground, and they should have sufficient clearing to allow for proper drainage and air circulation.
When the raised beds are ready, filled with soil and plants, and sheltered from the elements. Depending on the size of the raised beds, it is ideal to have a water connection or some sort of water storage on the roof. It can get very tiring going up and down stairs and lifts filling up buckets of water. If there is no water connection, a rain barrel could be installed on the roof.
We believe, it is a strong step to have a rooftop garden to fight the climate change.
