The message
from (Nick Maclaren) contains these words:

Growbags, yes, but you can easily overload it with containers!

Also, flat roofs are an abomination in the UK, because they leak,
and a much lower load than their limit may well cause them to sag.
I have seen a large 'flat' roof holding a 1-2" deep puddle all
over it ....

I`m a roof truss designer so it`s pitched roofs all the way for me. The
by product is a whole suite of software to be able to design timber
beams of all types.

They should all have some fallaway on them now to get rid of water. Most
problems with flat roofs are that cowboys have put them up with no
consideration for design and so there are a lot out there with 50 x 100
joists. Thats where problems start.
