Use the Stroke panel to create a new dashed stroke style. For now, just give it a name and click OK.
.
Next, apply your new stroke style to an object in your layout with the desired stroke width.

Reopen the Stroke Styles dialog box and double-click on your new stroke style to edit it.
.
In the dialog box, set the Pattern Length to a large value (larger than any frame you expect to apply the stroke style to). For the Corners option, choose Adjust Gaps.

I thought this was an interesting idea... this is an actual growing garden on the top of this bus in New York.
.
If the bus didn't go to fast that might work otherwise i think the soil and gravel would blow off/out due to wind movement.
