I will recommend not to hold back until you get big sum of money to order all you need! You should just get the business loans or term loan and feel yourself comfortable

Comment on Green Roof Plant of the week – Kidney Vetch by admin

David
I have only just realised that you add a comment to this back in June – apologies – we have seen small blue on some roofs though have no evidence of the presence of catarpillars. However they are relatively common on green roofs in Switzerland, where Kidney vetch can be the dominant plant on many green roofs. We hope that soon we have evidence that they do use green roofs in the UK. WE have been waiting for the first records of rare bees using green roofs. In september we found foraging brown carder bees on a new green roof field station in Barking – they were observed throughout the month – the only flowers on the site were on the green roof. So any thing is possible if we put the right ‘habitat’ up on green roofs!.

Comment on 23rd October – Small scale Green roof training Course – Essex by Aynsley Cooper

On the 5th September 2010, a mate and I went to one of these courses, delivered at Staffordshire Wildlife Trust’s place at Wolseley Bridge centre. It was a very successful day, with a straightforward practical bias at the start making sure that any project we attempt will at least have the roofing base correctly and securely fitted, avoiding any risk of later leaks. We also covered aspects of strengthening and support that might be appropriate for your own project.
There was wide discussion about roof substrates, design and planting, with links to the various sites associated with the subject so that more reading could be done.
Large scale green roofing was demonstrated, and is rather more widespread than you might expect.
I left with a very clear idea of how to prepare a small scale green roof for myself.
Dusty and John are entertaining speakers – try it, you’ll like it.
