CITY Issue 56 - (Page 38) LAY A FOUNDATION Structurally, there are some things to know before you can start planting, growing, and hedging: * If the building only has a tar roof, it’s advisable to ask an engineer to determine how many pounds per square foot the roof can hold. Often buildings with large management companies can provide this information. * Get permission from the building to install a deck so the roof can hold the weight of large planters and furniture. When putting down decking, it’s important that it be installed in pallets, so if water leaks into the apartment below, the leak can easily be fixed by removing one pallet at a time. * Assemble decks with galvanized screws — not nails. Ipe, a Brazilian hardwood, is an excellent material for decking. Not only is it fire retardant due to its tight grain, but it rarely splinters. * Have a drip irrigation system professionally installed to keep your plants, flowers, and herbs alive and nourished. 38 CITY / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / THE GOODS Does the high rise next door cast a shadow over your rooftop garden? These plants are shade tolerant and will grow despite a lack of light: HERBS: Chives / Heading out of town with no one around to pick up the watering can? These droughttolerant plants will be alive and well when you return home: HERBS: Lavender / Echinacea / Rosemary / Sage Thyme / Chervil / Lemon Balm / Parsley / Mint (but be careful, mint spreads like wildfire) VEGETABLES: Arugula / Spinach / Beets / Radishes / Turnips / Celery / Broccoli / Peas / Brussels sprouts PLANTS: Japanese Spindletree (Euonymus japonica) / Any succulent, such as Sedum FLOWERS: Cosmos / Salvia / Marigolds NOTE: If you don’t have an irrigation system, anything that is drought tolerant would be considered low maintenance. If you do have one, you can go away for a month and when you come back, it might look like a jungle, but it won’t be dead. FRUITS: Woodland varieties including: Raspberries / Blackcurrants / Gooseberries / Rhubarb PLANTS Dogwoods / / / Hostas / Impatiens / / Coleus / Azaleas / Rhododendrons / Hydrangeas Ferns / Bleeding hear ts Lamium Climbing hydrangea
