Q: Can I use de-icing chemicals on my LiveRoof plants during the winter?

No, LiveRoof plants are damaged by de-icing chemicals. If your LiveRoof is adjoined by pedestrian walkways, you should use sand or cat-litter as an anti-slip measure after shoveling.

Q: Why are frequent, brief maintenance activities critical to success?

The life cycle of most weeds is about four weeks. Therefore, by weeding every 2 weeks, for just a few minutes, the few weeds that come from birds and the wind are not allowed to reproduce (and become many). This is the "smart" way to manage a LiveRoof, and it is what allows one to have a pristine LiveRoof with almost negligible maintenance costs.
