greenroofs

I have been thinking over the idea of making a green roof over my studio. The roof is flat and already green in colour as it is covered in moss, but I really fancy the idea of growing a whole garden on top. According to the websites I have been looked at it should increase the life of my roof by 3x. http://livingroofs.org/ as well as being great for the overall area of green space and looking good. The only snag is that I need to get a structural survey done to check the roof will support the weight and I need to persuade Paul to agree to the cost (and the time it will take me to do it). Both of these things could be pretty hard to achieve as we are skint and I am already doing far too much. But never say never - if there is one thing I am known for it is dogged perseverence and bloody mindedness!!!

Still really longing for spring. I just cant get motivated when the garden looks so bleak. all I can do is burn things and tidy. I feel really affected by the season and want to hibernate still. My head is stuck in a post christmas coma. come on snowdrops- where are you ?!!!
