Rooftop Blend

Ecoactiv

This lightweight soil mixture is exceptionally well-suited for rooftop gardens, catering to the unique requirements of such environments. The formula requires pre-moistening its constituents, including vermiculite, compost, topsoil, coarse perlite, and a filler.

Within the context of rooftop gardens, the synergy between the soil and plant roots plays a pivotal role in the natural filtration of water and the subsequent removal of contaminants, contributing to the overall health and functionality of the garden ecosystem.

Applications

Ecoactiv Rooftop Blend soil is a specialized solution tailored to the unique demands of rooftop gardening. Its lightweight nature, excellent drainage, and support for root growth, coupled with nutrient and moisture retention, make it an ideal choice for creating thriving rooftop gardens while safeguarding the structural integrity of buildings

Weight Considerations: Ecoactiv Rooftop Blend soil excels in rooftop gardening applications, where weight considerations are paramount. It offers a delicate balance, engineered to be lightweight to prevent excessive loading on building structures while still providing ample support for robust plant growth.

Drainage: Proper drainage is a critical factor in rooftop gardening to prevent water accumulation, which can lead to leaks and structural issues. Ecoactiv Rooftop Blend soil is meticulously designed to exhibit excellent drainage properties, ensuring effective water management on rooftops.

Root Penetration: Achieving an optimal balance between compaction resistance and root penetration is essential for healthy plant development and stability in rooftop gardens. This specialized soil blend strikes this equilibrium, allowing roots to grow and thrive while maintaining structural integrity.

Nutrient Retention: Ecoactiv Rooftop Blend soil goes beyond being a mere substrate; it typically incorporates organic matter and essential nutrients. This enriching composition supports plant growth, especially vital in rooftop gardens with limited access to external nutrient sources.

Water Retention: While effective drainage is essential, maintaining adequate moisture levels is equally crucial to sustain plant growth and reduce the need for extensive irrigation. Ecoactiv Rooftop Blend soil is designed to strike this balance, ensuring optimal water retention without compromising drainage.

Erosion Control: Rooftop environments are often exposed to wind and rain, making erosion control a pertinent concern. Ecoactiv Rooftop Blend soil is engineered to minimize erosion, providing stability and protection to plants and rooftop structures in challenging weather conditions.
