You can grow carrots in vertical plastic drain pipes (as seen in a

about people growing giant vegetables).
Wouldn't you need hundreds or drainpipes?
How many 5 metre long carrots were you thinking of growing?  )
Ten. Or one 50 metre carrot would do.
Ok, if you live on the top floor of a tower block, maybe. )
In which case just use the drainpipe.
the one provided free? Good thinking. Grow water cress in the water feature that
forms on the roof.
Flat roof eh?
More carrots - as if the root fly can get this far up ........... I wonder
