Re: My rooftop container garden
Lovely collection, for how long have you been collecting them and what was the cost?

Re: My rooftop container garden
The rooftop project had been underway for two years. There are broad categories to its completion:
1- Plants: cactuses n succulents, commercial bonsai, my own bonsai, perennials.
2- Cement pots and paint: half of the pots you see here have been painted by me
3- Potting media and zameen dost fertilizer: both used in 1:1. Both close to 1 tonne.
4- Drip irrigation: Central to the viability of this garden as all plants are directly exposed to scorching sun/heat of lahore summer. I haven't used any green net. I have sourced the components for this dripline from the following: rainmakers (DHA lahore), haji sons (cavalry lahore), Amazon (USA) and local hardware store (haji Nazir hardware). The dripline is a DIY project but extremely labor intensive.
5- fencing and lighting
6- pressure pump and automatic electronic timer switch: there is no gravity support to water pressure at rooftop so having this is essential.
