Installing the vapor barrier for the roof was problematic. My first attempt using plastic failed. Condensation appeared overnight and after a week, a slimy scum arose. I couldn’t believe this building technique is usually recommended for Green Roofs. I switched to a more expensive paintable rubberized blue product – Blue like the Sky.
