Scott, can you illuminate this statement a bit?  Is self healing what you 
meant?  And if so, are you saying that it will close its own knicks up to 
1/8"?  Surely that would be a useful thing in a roof liner!
 
Thanks,
Tripp

AS for roofs.  When I was building underground houses I used a product
called Bituthene from W.R. Grace co.(the company that patented and then had
to unpatent neem as an insecticide.  This is a sheeting that works much like
an old tire patch.  Coat the roof with a mastic and then roll out the
sheeting and it attaches and will not pull off, it is self healing up to 1/8
of an inch.

I concur with the Wodraskas about the color.  Some of them are quite
beautiful, like the Ellensburg Blue I grew last year.  Should we be
selecting for colorful garlics, mineral-wise, I wonder?
 
About your second question, the bulbets, bulblets, bulbils, whatever you
want to call them are the way elephant garlic (which is really a leek)
propogates itself.  You can naturalize them in your garden by leaving those
in the soil.  My folks have had a patch of elephant garlic/leeks in their
garden for several years now without having to replant them.
 
On the living roof question, I'll defer to someone with more expertise than
I have on that one, although I am definitely interested in the answer.
 
Hope that helps some,
Tripp

Hi Amy,
that blue on the garlic will do you no harm at all and like the purple that
naturally occurs in garlic bulbs it is simply another mineral in the soil
making the colour change or bacteria in the soil.
Kind of a beautiful blue if it is the same as the garlic that we grew in the
Wood River Valley in Idaho. Not sure about your other questions except you
probably want something waterproof on the roof.
Blessings,
Barbara
