1. Time:
A garden requires a time commitment from the planning stages through harvest time.
2. The structure and weight of a roof garden can cause problems for the overall building.
3. You can easily fail if you don’t know what you’re doing.
4. Cost:
Vegetable gardens are considered money savers, but a garden comes with its own expenses that may cost you more than buying the vegetables would.
5. Water Supply:
A roof garden places a heavier strain on a building's water supply.
6. Gardening could get you in trouble with the law. Believe it or not, there are many municipal governments around the country that ban front or backyard vegetable gardens.
7. Vacation Coverage:
If you're gone for long periods of time, you'll either need to ask someone to watch your garden or risk unhealthy or dying plants when you return.
8. Insurance and Safety:
If your building has a roof garden, chances are that insurance companies will charge a higher premium than they would to cover the same building without a roof garden.
9. You may contract a serious infection.
