The beginning in 2011
Our Open Source project “TagTomat” started on the roof of our garbage shelter in the backyard in May 2011 with a few “Self Watering Containers (SWC)” made out of recycled materials. The name “TagTomat” is translated directly to English “Roof-Tomato”. The first year we had some different tomatoes and some yellow flowers.

My parents has grown tomatoes in these boxes in their greenhouse back home as long as I can remember. Now I live with my own family in a small flat on the 3rd floor in the Neighbourhood Nørrebro in Copenhagen. If you are in Copenhagen please contact me, if you like to visit the roofgarden.

2012
In May 2012 the local neighbourhood council donated 10.000 dkr (aprox 1500€) to give away materials for DIY-Workshop (Do it yourself). We bought materials for 50 “SWC” in danish “Kapillærkasser” for planting out Tomato plants in our neighbourhood. During the season of 2012 the project evolved to a more or less industrial RoofTomato-rooffarm, with over 2000 tomatoes harvested, different salads and a lot of social happenings

As more and more people showed interest for the project, I started to make tours and give away interviews to Danish and Swedish newspapers, and a few danish food and garden magazines has written about the roofgarden.
