    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!

    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.

    Nice video! Wow that guy actually produces more power then used and probably makes some nice coin. I like the plants on the roof as well!
