Green roof

green roof

3 options

  • soil is heavy, A sedum roof however, made with sedum matting, is reasonably light weight
  • consider 1 or 2 planters on the side, to keep weight low. instead of planters everywhere
  • create a very sturdy bin roof. that can support lots of soil.

Sedum doesn’t enjoy shade. if i plant a tree that might be an issue.

bluum recommends:

  • sedum
  • succulents kit
    • Never, ever use multi-purpose compost. John Innes no 3 is ideal , but no 2 will suffice.
    • Mix a free draining element into your soil before planting. This can be horticultural grit, gravel or perlite.
    • Increase the ratio of the perlite/grit/gravel if your area has a wetter climate. Up to 80% drainage
  • alpine plants
  • wildflowers
  • grasses
  • herbs
