"What's that on top of your garage??!" is a FAQ for us. A wood pile? Storage units? Coffins? With a garden that lacks sun in winter, we began looking for the sunniest spots to grow veges in. It soon became clear that the garage roof was begging to be grown on, so our roof top vege garden came into being.

Drying fruit in the sun
Sun Drying
Painting the garage roof last summer made me realise how hot it is up there in the sun. If the sun could bake me in half an hour, surely I could use it for more useful things like drying food! We have a food dehydrator, but why use electricity when there's the whole power of the sun up there to make dried fruit and fruit leather for free?!
