This article is about much larger scale stuff but it&#x27;s interesting timing since we&#x27;re about to put a roof deck on our townhouse (flat roof) and I&#x27;ve been researching some of the various &quot;DIY EarthBox&quot; plans out there.<p>My goal isn&#x27;t so much to become self-sustaining by starting a rooftop farm but we&#x27;ll have this big, flat, sunny area and I&#x27;m thinking if I put these or some other type of quality container garden around the perimeter, I can have a bunch of fresh vegetables during a good portion of the year and also make it feel a little more like a garden than just a hot, sunny, wooden platform in the middle of a city.<p>Any suggestions or experiences with this stuff?  I&#x27;ve done smaller bucket type container plants on the patio but I&#x27;m interested in this for aesthetics, food production, and just for the learning experience.
