| Hi Gordon I've followed some of your garden stuff on Dave's. I am fascinated that you have both a rooftop and a view. Does it get windy up there? Esp in the fall and winter. If I recall you also took some winter pics and they were memorable. When did you start this garden and are there other rooftop gardens around there. Do you have to bring plants indoors. I don't even know if this cubit is still active, maybe I am the only member. Please let me know if it is discontinued. seawatch888 |

I've a cool room I build on the roof... out of 2' thick foam.. this will be a good snow load...wind test for it..I keep it @45 * F as my target dormancy temperature.. rght now it's 46* inside ... the 2" foam thickness is about twice the insulaton of your standard refrigerator.. so it's real easy to heat.. alot of the thngs have there.. and alot more iinside here in the house... I have 7 150 watt color corrected spots [ Chromalux bulbs from finland ] as general house lightng.. in recessed celng fxtures... and 3 ...400 watt metal halide lights... on 6' and 8' moving tracks.. to light a larger area.. and provide shadowless plant growth... no need to turn or move the pots .. untll one starts to try and over grow one near by.. then it gets turned or clipped.. there's banks of other T-5 flourescent grow lights and other spots in other places...
