Growing vegetables on the roof involves how to deal with public space.

Because of the limited space, there will be fierce incidents such as competing for land and stealing melons and fruits between neighbors, and some of them will be unhappy with each other because of water seepage and leakage. In addition to the public area in the community, some residents even turned the mountain slope next door into a vegetable field, which will become a safety hazard in case of heavy rain. Analysts pointed out that the reason why citizens are keen on growing their own vegetables is that the current price of vegetables is too high and food safety is frequent, which makes people feel uneasy. On the other hand, because of the characteristics of immigrant cities, many citizens habitually bring their hometown lifestyle to Shenzhen. He said that this kind of behavior is understandable because it involves public property rights, but it is not worth encouraging. Analysts said that at present, there are similar phenomena in many communities. Demolition and non-demolition have become a great contradiction between neighbors, owners and property management. From the point of view of harmony and civilization in the community, the phenomenon of growing vegetables on the roof should be decided by the owners' Committee. Many citizens are opposed to the behavior of planting vegetables on the roof, and feel that it will affect the environment of the community anyway. Planting vegetables always requires fertilization and watering, which will produce a heavy smell and affect the hygiene. In addition, it will also affect the safety of the house. Planting vegetables on the roof will increase the bearing capacity of the roof of the house, which is a safety hazard. Moreover, the roof is poorly waterproof and it is easy to seep downstairs when watering vegetables. The most serious thing is that if you grow vegetables, some neighbors will follow suit. If you grow vegetables today and raise chickens, ducks and pigs tomorrow, won't the community in the city fade into the countryside? And according to relevant laws and regulations, the roof is the public resources of all owners, and no individual has the right to occupy it.
