Coulson opted for the soil and planting approach, as shown in this photo. He began by installing a two-ply roofing membrane that was torched down instead of nailed. Then came a dimpled drainage layer and an industrial filter cloth. Next came a 6-inch layer of a pumice, sand and humus soil mix.Tip: Be sure to include a draining layer — as Coulson did with his dimpled drainage — above your membrane and below your topsoil.

again, nice use of roof top space. Plants help keep the building from heating up as well.
