Model of vegetable garden on the rooftop is good for health.
With a small space on the balcony or terrace, we were able to design for our family a clean, healthy vegetable garden based on the criteria of not using plant protection products. In addition, meticulous care of vegetable garden in free time will bring a sense of comfort and relief after a tiring working day in the city.
The essentials when designing vegetable garden on the terrace:

Designing truss higher than the concrete floor will help your vegetable garden from being flooded. Moreover, make sure that you have good waterproofing treatment for the floor so that the wet water will not penetrate through the concrete floor to create an aesthetic for your home.
Covered
The roof terrace is sunny and windy, good for the growth of plants. But for plants that you have just sown and are in the germination stage, if not well shielded, it will ruin the season of sowing. So make sure the space is still sunny enough but there is still light sunshine.
Planting Pots
- For those who are new to vegetable gardening on the terrace, to save money, they can take advantage of old things such as paint buckets, buckets, small pots or foam containers. These seemingly "throw away" things are enough for you to have a family meal.
