Comment on Is it possible to divert contaminated soil onto a green roof? by goldwing

contaminated soil containing metals will be very, very slow to be absorbed by plants…and the plants would be toxic in themselves. You cannot burn them, that would release the metal to the atmosphere. You just cannot get rid of metal as you do organic toxins…metals are here to stay and are best handled through chemical means of collection and concentration. This is not something to play with…arsenic, strontium, etc. may well be in that soup!

Fascinatingly simple! Thanks so much for showing this to us. I have three Eastern/So. Eastern facing windows in my main living space – but am still hunting for Mylar from your previous advice – black plastic will work just as well?

I use the mylar (plastic foil (silver)christmas wrapping paper) in the summer to keep out sun…i use the black plastic or black landscapeing cloth to absorb sunshine/heat in the winter…black absorbs- silver reflects…

Hope this helps…little things here and there add up …calking windows, foam receptical insulators for your plugs will save you their cost the first month

Thanks for the …
Thanks for the clarification. I’ve often wondered what an apartment dweller could do for heat in the event of an energy emergency. (I have never moved into a place w/electric heat – too risky!) The black plastic sheets in my sunny windows sounds like they could be well worth the investment. I wonder if those cheap shower liners come in black? I’ll have to check ‘er out. It’s kind of out of season to purchase ground cover around here.

Again, thanks for the great tips.

I’m planning the original aluminum cans stacked in columns only version with one slight change as an experiment. The sunward facing side will have a thermal mass integral to the inside of each can to gain a slight storage effect..
Sound crazy or practical? The process is simple and inexpensive
