Default Green Desert Roof

Hello,

Is it possible to have a green desert roof? I use Xeriscaping on in my yard but would think in my hot climate that a green roof structure would dry out very fast.

Is there a wey to have a green desert roof? Perhaps by placing the xeriscaping tubes underneath the soil surrounded by water absorbing gel crystals with peat moss on top then soil and desert plantings?

Thanks a bunch!

Donald

Default It can be done!

I know there are several here in Las Vegas. A cool example of one I saw was on Planet Green's "World's Greenest Homes". An engineer in Phoenix has a nice one.
Here is another good example of one in Tucson on a public building.
