I'm much distressed that the flat roof at the back of my house isn't

give me rainwater on tap for the greenhouse. I'm thinking to grow
strawberries in growbags next year, anything taller would probably be
smashed by the winds in this area.

Does anyone do first floor gardening? Have any ideas?

First thing is to check what weight the roof can support. Unless it was
designed to be load-bearing, the water butts could already be
overloading it. Two full 50 gallon butts together weigh nearly half a ton!
