Description:
A green roof was put on top of the corridor between our house and shed for environmental purposes.

Elements:
100mm of pebbles were used as drainage ( I couldn't find any crushed brick as recommended any where in the area) On top of the permeable membrane (mypex) I have put between 200- 500mm of peat as substrate.

My planting scheme has changed slightly since reading Nigel Dunnett's book and now only part of the roof is devoted to sedums. I obtained some old grow bags, previously planted with pinks and gladioli. Some of these have grown. and provide colour and form. I also planted seedlings grown from a packet of seeds gained from 'seeds for Sheffield' comprising of Mayweed, Corn Marigold Cornflower and Corn Cockle.These are supplemented with chives and quaking grass ( Briza)
