A lidassembly is placed over the box during transport and storage. The box/lidassembly is designedto be stackable for easy transport on pallets for placement in an interlockingarray on a roof orsimilar surface. The box is made of biodegradable cardboard allows for theeventual breakdownof the container portion of the assembly and the formation of an integratedgreen roof ofinterlocking plants after a period of time after installation. The filterfabric sock wrapping thebox bottom, sides and fitted top provides the enclosure that will hold the pre-vegetated modularcomponents together when the cardboard box eventually biodegrades.
