The Green Roof Supplies arrived! Watch as the layers are installed! #15

Ant had time to fit the green roof for the cabin this week and, as usual, I got under his feet!
The four layers are
1. The plastic protection for the Cabin Roof
2. The drainage layer
3. The growing medium
4. The sedum plants which are held together with a coir matting.
I got these items from The Green Roof Company thegreenroofcompany.co.uk/pro...
when the sedums arrived and we rolled them out, I was a little suprised by how unhappy they looked, but after a few days they have perked up and are now enjoying being on the roof. I guess I'd look a bit unwell if I'd gone through what they had in transport!
Do check out Ant's channel - Ant's Country Life - where he shares his day to day life and the work he does. He's very interesting.
That is the last big job for the Cabin, though there are still a lot of plans for the Garden, so pop on your notifications as I don't post to a schedule, just when I have something to say!
Enjoy this episode and I'l see you in the Garden soon!
The music in this video is from Epidemic Sound and is called
Garden Afternoons, Song for a new Beginning and Heart of the River of the Sun
Love
Kate

Thank goodness you have the lovely Ant to help you Kate, what a gentleman in the true sense of the word he is. He cares about you, about nature, what a treasure to have as a neighbor, and you seem so fond of each other, which is great. His wife is very lucky to have a lovely husband like him. xxx

Kate, Ant. FANTASTIC! My hubby has hands like Ants. We used Merlin while you talked. Your bird song is so fantastic! What a blessing to see and hear your neck of the woods. My hubby is a builder. We harvest our own lumber. He no longer has big projects. We are at the renewing stage. Personally I would like a tree house platform so I can see Denali. A platform for a tent in summer. My builder man is not biting that worm....yet...
