Post Roof gardening in Merida
There is a new trend in gardening in Merida; gringos are using roof tops as their gardens.
Any one has more info about this?

Those are some pictures of an existing roof garden in Merida Centro. Nothing complicated; concrete boxes with the some dirt and water supply, but is lots of fun for those who like gardening, fresh vegetables and impressive looking roof top.

Same garden box with concrete poured on the bottom, this part will hold the water for plants, that’s why, is made from solid concrete.

Finished, all it needs is couple coats of tar - “chapapote” and some plants.
