My rooftop Greenhouse....
« on: September 10, 2011, 18:59:45 »
I've now finished installing my greenhouse on my flat roof lottie... I was given it and then my gardenshare plot fell through... so..... It is now on my roof!! and has some kitchen vinyl floor that was skipped by my neighbour.. I will do some imported seeds that need some extra heat to grow!!

Thanks Mr. S... I have done a lot of the big work now.. I have concentrated on the infrastructure and will get digging early Spring when possible.

Looks amazing but did you need planning permission?

Our regs say anything over 1mt high needs approval in writing from the committee... I sent a letter for the shed and greenhouse but still no reply so didn't bother with this .. I'll maybe add it and re-send the letter sometime..

Cornykev... Duncan is really good with helping me put.. helps me on the bigger work when he can...

ever heard of "food 4 work" scheme!!  ;)
