Measure the areas then proceed to buy items that will fit your needs or make them yourself. Enjoy the journey., it will be well worth it, and you will be happy in the end with what you have been able to accomplish..........

    Hello A, will this be on a rooftop? Here are some tips to start with

    Use lightweight potting soil rather than garden dirt. Use Styrofoam peanuts for drainage rather than rocks or pottery shards. Fourth, keep in mind that your rooftop garden will be considerably windier than a normal garden. You will need to incorporate windbreaks into your rooftop garden design.


    this is one idea
