Bauder green roof packages

Reliable and inexpensive roof planting for carports,
garages and other small areas

Garages, carports or any other small area can be extensively planted reliably and inexpensively using the Bauder green roof packages. Two versions of these packages are available:  

Bauder green roof package light

  The 70 kg lightweight version for an 18 m2 green roof
  The Bauder green roof package light has been developed specifically for lightweight roof structures. The water storage panel can retain approx. 10 l /m2. This additional water reservoir enables the substrate to be reduced in depth to 50 mm The weight of the entire system when water-saturated comes to approx. 70 kg/m2. Due to the smaller amount of root space, the diversity of species is limited in comparison with the standard package. For roofs with sufficient load-bearing capacity we therefore always recommend the standard package.
Content20 m2 (two packs) of 50 mm water storage panel, 25 m2 filter fleece, 23 sacks of PO-E plant substrate, check list, installation instructions, voucher for 220 low-growing perennials and start fertiliser for 18 m2

Planting time
Spring and autumn are ideal. If planting is done in the summer, the green roof system must be thoroughly watered two to three times per week during the initial growth phase (3-4 weeks) if the weather is dry.

Maintenance
Extensive plantings are low-maintenance, but not maintenance-free. In its first two growing seasons a green roof requires regular maintenance. By the end of two growing seasons the planting has generally developed to the point where the area is covered. After this, maintenance twice a year should suffice. This includes inspection of the roof drainage and waterproofing. Any vegetation or dirt that may be adversely affecting functionality must be removed.

Watering
If there is a prolonged dry period straight after planting, low-growing perennials will need to be watered 2 to 3 times per week. Once the root systems are established, an extensive planting can survive prolonged dry periods.

Bare patches
Failure of individual low-growing perennials may lead to "bare patches" on the roof. In this case, simply cut sprouts of well-developed sedum plants, spread them in the gaps, and work them in so that they are lightly covered with substrate. Then water.
