Paradise on my Roof
There were great advances during the past year and a half in the roof garden. The upstairs neighbor, wanted to waterproof the roof for fear of having leaks in the past rainy season. But impermeability is horrible as a floor, chewy and warm, so we decided to place a slab.
I wanted a tile that resembled pebbles and irregular pattern to create texture and movement into space. In all models, we finally chose the cheapest, at $ 89 a square foot, sold in a shop in the North Division Avenue. Put the tile was of a lower cost to waterproof and as we look to use a good glue, and keep the waterfall was a better floor to waterproof. In addition, raised much the site. I became much more enjoyable. The drawings resemble guerrillas tile river, and are small as the Venetian lozetas covers the facade of the building.
In addition, I returned to paint the walls, this time with comex paint and a lighter color, which gave the feeling of spaciousness. Finally we made our first barbecue!
The garden has matured enough, I have two passion flowers, three cisus vines, geraniums, hydrangeas three, two pink begonias (Podranea ricasoliana) and some aloe and a bougainvillea. These are plants that have endured over the climate of the city and my occasional periods of heavy duty and negligence, when I can not climb to the roof in a week or more, or rainy seasons I trust that they are watered.
Pests not long in coming. First I found a sheet full of worms passionflower butterfly soft. Quickly removed the sheet, yet unaos days later I found it about eight worms feeding on passion flowers grown up I removed with pliers for hanging clothes.
If it had not raised and constantly revised my garden, these worms have eaten the plant quickly. It was then that I realized the importance of daily stroll through the garden, even 15 minutes as a pest early detection makes all the difference. Apart from spend a good long Saturday morning to review, pruning, watering, and enjoy gardening.
With the hydrangea had fungus problems. Black spots on leaves with a kind of white powder. Finally solved it with a fungicide that I bought at the Commercial Mexicans.
The mite appeared in the dry winter season in the passion. Cobwebs and red spots on the back of the leaves that absorb nutrients from the leaves drying them.
The webs are easily removed with a stream of water, so do not appear in rainy seasons. I had to purchase a hose (which I needed anyway) easily spray the leaves high. I have also been made an insecticide comprate also in the eating. The parties have withered leaf out again, but the tips have revived and brought flowers.
Once, watering, I saw how quickly took down a spider plant, escaping from the water and then sneak back to the plant. But he should not count on my cleverness!
