Rod,
I fear roots and standing moisture. If I could have a one piece metal roof, maybe.

I like the idea of sunshine beating down on something I don't have to buy (and replace). Having read nothing about sod roofs, I'd be wondering how to prevent leaks, and how to keep it from sliding off like snow.
Something I have not seen considered is, rainwater catchment from a sod roof. That "first flush" is a helpful step in getting clean water, but with a sod roof, stuff won't come off in a batch, I'd think.

While it *could* be done on a 12:12 pitch roof, I don't know just how that would look. (maybe it'd be cool!) I've seen many methods of securing the sod. I don't believe roots are any issue. First, you aren't planting tress on there. And second, roots don't seek where water isn't. I imagine pond liner is how many are waterproofed. I seen modular systems for the actual sod retention, which is like a bunch of separately attached planter boxes. If it could be done affordably, I really like the idea of a hail-proof, super sound-proof, super climate control, never-needs-replacing, invisible to Google satellites roof.
Don't count me out on this possibility yet. I know my roof design can EASILY carry the load without modification.

I didn't get it either.... Don't quit your day job, Rod. There's no profit in subtle puns.
Every time I have strayed from the teachings of Skip Ellsworth it has cost me money.
I love the mask mandate. I hardly ever have to bruh my teeth anymore.
