Another term for these green roofs is “Rooftop Garden or Terrace Garden.”

Lightweight potting soil is used for growing the Vegetable and herbs in the gardens that fit in well on these rooftops and to a degree, their care is slightly easier than ground-level gardens since with the use of Expanded Clay Aggregate (ECA®) no pests and weeds find their way to these plantations. These green roofs tend to stay more attractive in dry weather due to the excellent thermal insulation property of Expanded Clay Aggregate (ECA®) and are very often less irrigated.
