Living Roofs by AK Townsend
Living roofs are rooftops that are partially or completely covered with vegetation. They have been gaining popularity in Europe, where one-third of new roofs in some areas are now living roofs. Living roofs can provide insulation, help regulate rooftop temperatures, increase habitat for wildlife, and beautify buildings. They are categorized as either extensive or intensive based on soil depth and plant types supported. Creating a living roof involves installing multiple layers like a waterproof membrane, root barrier, drainage system, and growing medium before planting vegetation suited to the roof environment.

Brown and biodiverse roofs establish local ecosystems more cost effectively over time. Wildflower and meadow roofs bring long-lasting color and habitat for wildlife.
AL: Rain Garden Brochure
Rain gardens are landscaped areas planted with native plants that capture and filter stormwater runoff from roofs, driveways, and other hard surfaces. They are typically planted in low-lying, flat areas of the yard near where water flows naturally or near downspouts. To build a rain garden, homeowners determine the size based on drainage area, dig a basin, add soil amendments if needed, plant native water-tolerant plants, and add mulch to allow runoff to slowly infiltrate the ground while trapping pollutants. Properly sited and planted rain gardens reduce flooding risks and improve water quality.
Roof gardens and green roofs
The document discusses roof gardens and green roofs. It notes that roof gardens are intended to be used as gardens with thick soil layers and vegetation requiring maintenance, while green roofs use thin lightweight substrates and low-maintenance vegetation like moss and herbs. Both provide benefits like insulation, drainage of excess water, and protection of roof membranes. Geocomposite drain sheets provide optimal drainage and protection of roof membranes in roof gardens. Discharge capacities of roofing systems are outlined according to standards.

Coconut Oil helps Heal Children's ADHD - ADD Disease, Autism & Alzheimer Disease
Coconut Oil helps Heal Children's ADHD - ADD Disease, Autism & Alzheimer DiseaseSchool Vegetable Gardening - Victory Gardens
- Coconut oil may help slow or prevent Alzheimer's disease in some people by providing an alternative fuel for brain cells in the form of ketones. Dr. Mary Newport put her husband Steve, who had Alzheimer's, on a diet supplemented with coconut oil, which led to improvements in his symptoms and cognitive abilities.
- Researchers have developed a ketone ester that is more potent than coconut oil, but it is very expensive to produce. Coconut oil remains a viable alternative source of ketones. Taking coconut oil may also help with other neurological diseases due to its ability to increase ketone levels and good cholesterol while reducing bad bacteria.One Teacher Makes Students into Champions
A teacher in Baltimore transformed the lives of students from the slums. In the 1920s, college students evaluated 200 boys from the slums and said they had no chance of success.

Courtyard Gardening
- 1. Courtyard Gardening A courtyard garden can be a private retreat created to relax with family, entertain with friends and to garden with pleasure. Courtyard gardens are small spaces, so be careful to avoid including too many plants that can grow to create an impenetrable jungle or summertime sauna! Condsiderations 1. Drainage: poor drainage and flooding can be problems with courtyards that are predominantly hard landscaped areas. In this case alleviate the problem by using containers for plantings. 2. Shade: high walls and adjoining buildings can restrict the amount of sunlight reaching your courtyard. If this is an issue, select shade tolerant plants or use pots on wheels that can be moved about easily. 3. Heat: paved courtyards with poor ventilation may result in heat build up. Plants will help to cool the area but their water requirements will be high so install an efficient watering system. 4. Shallow Soil: If soil depth is less than 500mm before reaching clay, then build up garden beds to avoid plants literally drowning in the soil. Do not dig into or plant in heavy clay as your plants will not survive. 5. Space: limited space should not inhibit your ability to design well. Remember to use your vertical (upright) spaces as well as your horizontal spaces. You can use columnar or standard plant varieties along paths; espaliered fruit trees on a wall; a scented creeper on a trellis; strawberries in hanging baskets; or position small potted plants on the steps of an old ladder.
