Vegetable garden intensive

THE SYSTEM IS USED ON ROOFS, TERRACES AND COVERS ALLOWING HORTICULTURAL WORK. THE GREEN ROOF SYSTEM SERVES THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONS:

ALLOW HORTICULTURAL ACTIVITIES AND THE CREATION OF URBAN GARDENS IN THE MOST DENSELY BUILT-UP AREAS.
ALLOW VEGETABLES TO GROW AWAY FROM SOURCES OF VEHICULAR POLLUTION. THIS, COMBINED WITH THE CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SUBSTRATE, ENSURES MAXIMUM VEGETABLE HEALTHINESS.
ALLOW, THANKS TO SUBSTRATE THICKNESS AND INTENSE EVAPOTRANSPIRATION, EXCELLENT COOLING OF UNDERLYING SPACES AND THE OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT.
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE WINTER ENERGY SAVINGS
CONTRIBUTE TO THE STORAGE PROCESS IN THE CASE OF INTENSE RAINFALL AND PROMOTE THE RESTORATION OF THE WATER CYCLE.
EXTEND WATERPROOFING LIFESPAN.

HARPO VEGETABLE GARDEN INTENSIVE SYSTEM FEATURES

The Harpo verdepensile vegetable garden intensive system adheres to the UNI 11235:2015 standard, guaranteeing and exceeding the minimum characteristics for both all individual elements and system performance. The creation of urban gardens is now of great importance in the redevelopment of the urban social landscape. Also not to be overlooked is the importance it can assume in the family microeconomy and as a leisure activity. The solution makes it possible to regain space for horticultural activities even in the most intensely urbanized areas, bringing numerous social and economic benefits.

The main features of the system are as follows:

Versatile and lightweight: usually the total thickness of the system is about 35 cm. The maximum retention weight of the lower thickness system starts at 360 kg/sqm.
Purpose and use: the Harpo vegetable garden intensive system is designed to provide maximum protection to the water-holding element and very high fertility, allowing the cultivation of various types of vegetables and horticultural work without the risk of damaging waterproofing.
Implementation costs: this solution is on average economical as far as the system is concerned. Approximately 20/30 cm of substrate is sufficient.
Management costs: the amount of maintenance required is determined by the type of vegetables grown.

Nevertheless, care is reduced compared to average, in fact Harpo substrate is highly fertile and does not require hoeing. Occasional fertilization operations are advisable.

Harpo substrate does not form sludge and does not firm up allowing excellent usability for the operator.

Thermal resistance: the system contributes to energy savings with a thermal resistance that varies depending on the water content but is not less than 0.80 (m2*K)/W, with substrate thickness 30 cm, according to CNR report for the BAS system.
Runoff coefficient: specific values can be provided upon request based on studies conducted with the University of Genoa.
