I've not done it before, but... I know a company that specializes in green roofs. I hope that this helps. Check out their Web-site and E-Mail them.
Reply:go with a hydroponics setup which would only be the weight of water and containers-and a lot less water than when using soil. or use a lighweight soilless mixture. or you can have a green roof which is nice but complicated and costly,using 5mil. plastic membranes btwn roof and several layers of soil/soilless mix.

Reply:you need an engineer to look at the structure of your building. roof gardens add alot of wieght to the structure. must have a rubber barrier to keep moisture from getting in.
