More Roof Containers
Along with the Tournesol containers I posted/complained about two months ago, I went back two months later and made some much smaller containers. The idea was to have ice plant growing low among the river stones that cover some sections of the roof. I took shallow flats and surrounded them with a skin of waste stone from the free bin at the stoneyard, using old tiles for the bottom and bluestone strips around the sides. At the moment the stone is just dry laid with the river stones holding the stone in place, but I might use mortar later if the ice plant does well and these become a permanent thing.
Below are three photos of the Tournesol containers after a couple of months of growth.
The larger containers have filled in nicely. I’m still skeptical of Tournesol, but I like what the containers add to the roof.
