Press Release: Extensive Green Roof Growing Medium - What's so special about it? |
|||
|
Extensive green roofs…low weight, cost effective and probably the most popular of the green roofs. But the low weight comes with a cost to the plants…extremely high stress environments. WATER STORAGE CAPACITY In general, the bulk of the water storage in a green roof buildup is in the growing medium. The thin ‘soils’ of extensive green roofs severely limit water storage capacity and therefore add greatly to what is already an extreme environment for the plants. This is reflected in the relatively short lists of plants that are suitable for planting extensive green roofs. But this casts the extreme environment as a foe, something we battle with when we design extensive green roofs. It is important to remember that this is a one sided perspective. |
