John from http://www.growingyourgreens.com/ goes on a field trip to Hamilton Tavern, a pub in Baltimore, Maryland that is growing food on its roof. In this episode you will learn more about this urban roof top garden on top of this pub that grows food for use in its restaurant. In this episode, you will learn some of the essential elements you will need to know to have a successful rooftop edible garden. After watching this video you will learn about the types of containers, soil mixture, the irrigation, trellising as well as the vegetables and herbs you may want to plant. The Hamilton Tavern Garden was planted with help from Hamilton Crop Circle.
I enjoy your field trips so thanks for sharing them, they help me be a better gardener, especially giving me some new ideas and shape the future of my personal gardens.?

John! Make a bloopers video!
Good idea. I think I will get started on that when the snow melts next May.
I have been watching him for a while now and his eyes are getting smaller or are they…
Great idea… the weight issue could be substantially lessened if shear braces were used… it is a bit dangerous for the structure unless it was built for weight on the roof… but since it is brick it is it is something to maybe brace the corners a bit… at least in Earthquake country like where we live… but I love the idea of urban gardening… very green!
Wish I knew you were in Hamilton. I live 4 blocks from there and would've bought you a beer or 2 or 3…
"Right where you need it… on your roof" haha
That is no lie!
Sweet vid.
a green roof will also help keep the roof cooler reducing the amount of energy it takes to cool down stairs
According to Wikipedia, Alliums (chives, garlic, onions) should not be planted near nightshades (tomatoes, eggplants, peppers)….
Your videos always make my day!
eewh produce traveling 1500 miles on a smoggy highway
The Key Word Here is safety, dont overload the building
As always love your videos! Love the field trip videos too.
Nice John. Don't forget the cooling benefit of having the containers on the roof absorbing sun energy.
