@Nouveau_Burnswick @hazeebabee
I remember a manual for rooftop gardens from Montreal back in the 1970s.
There are lighter growing media than soil and, of course, hydroponics and aeroponics.

Years of links to urban and advanced agriculture developments at http://cityag.blogspot.com
Years of links to net zero energy building developments at http://zeronetenrg.blogspot.com
Both are also free listservs

I was specifically referring to Lufa Farm's commercial rooftop farms. Each farm varies slightly in construction, operation, strengths, and weaknesses.

But thanks for those listservs, great resources.

Super useful links, thanks for sharing :) it's so cool to see all the different ways people have approached the questions & all the different solutions they came up with.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for plants on buildings though lol

Agreed (thanks for the Links & I'm a sucker for plants on buildings too!). Rooftop gardens & More vertical farming!
