Bendecido Esteban:
te encontré (y te escribí) a un foro sobre “techos de pasto”. Pero quise saber mas de vos y seguí buscando en google. ¡que joven sos! y que bueno que uses tus conocimientos para mejorar esta tierra tan castigada que los viejos le hemos legado. Yo estoy poniendo mi granito de arena tratando de enmendar en algo los errores cometidos.
Voy a ser muy atrevida ¿podría pedirte algunos consejos? No tengo dinero para contratar a un profesional pero prometo rezar por vos todas las noches.
Desde Tanti, Córdoba, Argentina, un verde abrazo

Estimada Sara,
Encantado de ayudarte. Si lo que te interesa son los techos verdes, puedes comenzar por mirar un par de posts donde he estado dando consejos a muchos con la misma duda.
Uno de ellos esta en mi antiguo blog:

Y el otro es de un blog en el que colaboro desde Chile. El post es:
