How to Build an Edible Green Roof By Senga

[sengalindsay]

Hi There:

Your best option is to look at working with a soils supplier that works with green roof soils as each area and availability of materials will vary from region to region.

Good luck and thanks for watching

Cheers

Great video! I'm looking into my own rooftop garden here, in Ottawa. Just wondering if you could recommend a lightweight soil alternative other than pumice. The reason is, I'm not sure I'll be able to find pumice here in Ottawa!

Thanks!

[sengalindsay]

Yes it has become popular I noticed

Thanks so much

Cheers

I grew up in North Vancouver, but I live in Toronto now, and this was the first video that came up when I searched Rooftop Garden. Crazy, hey? I love this video, btw :)

There's a bear in ur tree and you don't mind... Wtf!

[sengalindsay]

He was just sleeping in the tree - ate too many choke cherries

Thanks for watching

Cheers

[Fionayqx]

The bear appear at the end look creepy to me tho

[a13cks]

What happen to the soil when it rains for days?

[sengalindsay]

@a13cks There are regular drains in the roof and they lead into 5 rain barrels that are connected together and I have a small pump that pumps the water back up to the roof so the roof can be watered when it gets dry

[MrJaycrazi169]

lol looks like u was attracted to the bear

[ZenKuei]

Lol - a little off topic, but I've met more women that have punched a bear in the face than I have men...

[LadyCassandra00001]

Oh my god... there is a bear on your tree....

[Recklesskatz]

I've always wanted to eat a green roof



[ithral1]

[sengalindsay]

You pays your ticket you takes your chances!

[rasu851]

[themysteriousmexican]

[sengalindsay]

LOL - I think... Don't think the gravel would be good for your digestion.

[ILUVFFANDKH]

The beaaar! Aww -3 haha

[ruleram1]

this reminds me of minecraft

[sengalindsay]

Thanks for all the great comments - glad you are enjoying them.

Cheers

[earthlinglife]

- what's for dinner tonight?

- green roof... :P

Thanks for the video - great green ideas!

[sengalindsay]

It isn't a matter of attracting bears it is coexisting with them and they pass through the yard everyday - beats them trying to rip open a garage looking for a garbage can.

[ml497]

Why on earth would you want to attract a bear? 

[morkar90]

I'd love to eat a roof.

[MulberryMurderMafia]

You forgot to mention you're not supposed to eat the wood... I think I ate a spider too

[sengalindsay]

They do the circuit along the back fence all the time but don't really bother with the roof garden at all.

Thanks for watching

Cheers

[antonioscheel]

JESUS!! when u said wildlife then u focused on a tree, I thought a rare species of bird NOT a flipping BEAR!! LOL!

[MrLivePositive8]

@antonioscheel Ha

[1Bob4All]

Great video. Thanks.

For people considering green roofs, be cautious with the use of small pebbles, framing material, and anything which is not fastened securely. In regions which experience high winds, these items could become missles in high winds. I imagine that you would be held responsible for damage caused to neighboring windows/structures, if your choice of roofing material and how you secured it proved to be a poor choice.

[sengalindsay]

Thanks for the comments - you are so right on all!

Cheers

Very nice, energy efficient also. Cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Helping environment while providing food also. Need some architects paying attention here. Time to change is now. Thank You!!!

Hi Carlos:

Thank you for your comments and kind words - it is what keeps me going that I follow my passion and share it with members of the community such as you!

Have a great day

Hi, Senga.

Thank you very much for your videos. They are informative and you are a very good instructor. I believe that should make a long instructional video and sell it to the libraries. Many people needs this kind of information.

Hi Thanks for watching. This was shot around noonish. And we are just used to bears coming through the yard. They do't bother anyone here.

If you are interested please vist my youtube channel and check out our TV pilot - draft program (in three parts) called the Gardening Gourmets with my husband chef - about growing, designing and eating out of your own back yard.

Cheers

Senga

Even though I won't be planting a green roof, I found it very interesting. What time of the day was this shot? While I am gardening (Wisconsin) I might have ducks, cranes, fox, birds, woodchucks or deer but no BEAR. That is scary, meaning if you are gardening very quitely & being one with nature...who startles who? Bear or you? WOW! Needless to say my heart would be racing. Thank you for sharing.
