Here is a rest area in north carolina that has a living roof to prevent rainwater run off and also lower utility bills. They also built this building into the side of a bluff to insulate the building with thermal mass. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I wish i had a house like this, AWESOME!
I've been thinking a lot about this. This for now is probably your cheapest and easiest option for collecting water. Mess w. The stream later. My grandparents draft from the pond to water there garden. Rain water may be best for now. You can still use panel, batteries and pump for bathing or water crops. Multiple uses
I've "heard" sedums are edible and some places here use them on green roofs as well. I think it's a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
Thumbs up very cool
KEEP OFF THE ROCKS, right! Where was your son while you were reverting to his level? Lol
The living roof is a great idea, I just wonder, if on your home what it would do with the humidity level and if it would encourage mold growth. Any ideas?
Good idea.
Where in NC is this rest area?
