BBC Gardener's World

Well believe it or not I am on telly tomorrow. On aforementioned prog on beeb2 at 8.30 or 9.00 depending on regions. They came to have a look at the roof garden in reading see the web site and talk about how it stood up to the drought. Its all rain water fed with a water cycling system, but we have had problems with it. But yes we survived the drought but with lots of supplementary watering by hand. The whole experience has taught us loads in truth and we are really ready to implement a second phase to our whole rainwater management program. What we are really looking for here is a sponsor for a 2 year monitoring project to collect the data from the Risc roof water system, and collect some empirical data as to how effective it is in a) water cycling and perhaps more importantly offsetting storm surge water and absorbing downpours.
