Green Roof Moymaterial

Stoner · 2007-06-20 09:39:27

I was at the bloom festival and I saw a sample of a green roof, I saw them in the states about 4/5 years ago and thought they were a great idea. My roof is about 45.M.sq. and I was put in contact with Moy material. It is looking like costing in or around €1500.00 for the matrials. has anyone any experience of this, does it…

has anyone any experience of this, does it sound like a good cost (bearing in ming that I'm getting the plants with 20mm soil coverage and a mat with an additional 50mm, according to the sales man some places don't go with the additional 50mm , cutting the cost but the roof may die in 2-4 years as it has no where to go.
Anyway it need to be fed once a year and might need the odd watering.

I was also wondering if Cats like to do their biz on it.

Good news on that front, i got the plants that cats hate, I'll get all the details and do post on it's own, as this is the subject that brought me to boards DIY in the first place.
