DeleteWOW! I am so amazed and I want to start this. I already started collecting soil for doing the same.
ReplyDeleteIf it rains very heavily, will the mud get washed away from the brick enclosed area?
When we are planting on the terrace, the root of big plants like any tree we plant will it affect the floor of the terrace/ceiling of the house....as in will the root go into the cement in the ceiling and cause damage?
What is the height of the mud we need to use to plant a tree on the terrace, for eg banana...how many inches of mud will be required?
Here it's very windy these days, will the tree be able to withstand wind in the terrace.
Sorry for all the questions, am just so excited to hear from you. You have such an amazing terrace.wow!
The Amrut Mitti is in form of Humus which doesnt get washed away in rains. But yes it has to be completely used by planting varieties of plants. Roots do not get into the slab or harm the structure at all.But do ensure that your roof does not have any existing leakage problems. If u have it is better to get a proper water proofing done and then begin with the project.
ReplyDeleteTo plant banana we need 8-10 inches of Amrut Mitti. For protection from strong winds pl provide external support to your plants with cross bamboos. I have shown it in my blog. pl see pic.
You can have such a terrace too. Love, passion and hard work. : ) and joys are yours to share! : )
