The [[Geotextiles| geotextile]] layer is included to prevent migration of the planting medium into the drainage layer. Current advice is to specify a free draining textile to prevent potential water-logging of the planting medium. Observations green roof assemblies have shown a reduction of flow from specifications owing to interactions of medium particles with the textile. | The [[Geotextiles| geotextile]] layer is included to prevent migration of the planting medium into the drainage layer.
