Wild high grass as resource for roofing material. In tropical countries one of the best and free or cheap roofing material is high grass. Here a farmer girl from a small farm house nearby cuts the strong grass. Later the grass is bundled and dried in the sun - then either used on own hose or also sold on local market as a source of additional revenue.
Bundles of grass as roofing material offer an excellent isolation from the hot tropical sun. Houses with metal roofing often are like a baking oven, while grass covered houses are comfortably cool.

This year's Tatton soundtrack might have to include: It only happens when it rains, raindrops keep falling on my head, singing in the rain... I could go on, so please let me know if you have any less clichéd suggestions. But, there's no getting away from it, the weather for the build up has been truly appalling. It's been a challenge for the show organisers, garden designers, nursery folk and TV crews ali ke. High-vis jacket-wearing was extended the full duration of press day yesterday as conditions got muddier.
But my favourite plant combination today was the gorgeously delicate Agrostis nebulosa with Astrantia 'Roma' - a fuzzy cloud of bronze grass with jewel-like blooms just peeping through, unfazed by the downpours, raindrops glistening prettily as the sun re-emerged.
