Giving the Rabbits a Green Roof

Mollymoonlight

Morning everyone, I thought I would share an idea I've had and see what people think about it. I have a very small garden, and having previously come from an enormous one, it feels minuscule to me. I do, however, do my best to cram in full of as much growing space as I possibly can. Given that I rent my house, and the landlords are plant phobics, it is mostly white chips and slabs, so I've had to be a bit creative about how I go about things. As the best way to get around the lack of space in a small garden is to think upwards, I have been thinking of clever ways to utilise the space on the top of the buns house, which is actually a converted chicken coop. I found one last night by googling chicken coop green roof (sorry I'm too new and not allowed to post pics or links yet )

The roof of their home is exactly like this one, so it could definitely be done. I tend to supplement their diet with leafy herbs when they're in season, so I figured this is where I could grow them. It could be a little bunny kitchen garden

What a nice idea! Here's the first item that came up when I googled, is it the one you were looking at? Has nice clear instructions on how to go about making the green roof.

Hi great idea, I did it for guinea pigs using bread crates - I put a sheet of exterior chipboard onto the roof first and lined the crates with permeable fabric

That's the one! It looks. So easy! I've been thinking about it for ages but hadn't considered I could grow more than sedums. Much as I like sedums, I prefer to grow things I can use because my space is so precious
