Is there a video or photos of how the place looks now?

[@Gustav4]

probably not because it most likely failed. The science here is narrow minded and doesnt consider the ecosystem as a whole. When you consider the ecosystem as a whole and learn the science that is needed in that image, it becomes clear to you why this approach of planting trees using technology, is not going to work.

Every tree planted is needed to replace "the lungs" they are burning down in the Amazon. In the Galilee, they have planted years ago and they now witness that the climate is completely changed :). In Spain, they lumbered the forests during the Civil War and never replanted; until now. It will be so nice to see the young forests in the near future.

This video shows the plantation of trees in rocks. The plantation is in San Isidro ski resort Spain. The planting is above the tree line. The tree line in San Isidro is at 1,800 meters. In winter there is one to two meters of snow on Waterboxxes and their the saplings. The Groasis Waterboxx protects them well. Over 90% of the trees survive.

What happens to the boxes as the trees grow? Are they biodegradable? Reusable?

[@Groasis]

Hi Julian Kollataj. Thanks for your message. The Waterboxxes are reusable. They should last for years. However our Growboxxes are biodegradable. These can be used a single time. ^MK

[@ssbaringba]

Sir I am from India. My location is also 3000+ mt hight from sea level . I had planned many time but due to harsh conditions I am fail. I like you system of plantation. Plz help me in plantation and dedesartification

[@dickhead8775]

What happens when the trees get too big for the Waterboxxes?

[@Groasis]

When you start planting with the Waterboxx, you use a sapling of maximum 1 year old. In 99% of the cases, the tree isn't too big for the hole in the Waterboxx after one year. If the tree becomes to big, it is a sign that the tree has reached the water/humidity in the ground and that it doesn't need the Waterboxx anymore. It happens that the tree doesn't need the Waterboxx anymore after 9 months, or in other cases after 13 months. It depends on the planting location of your tree.

[@dickhead8775]

Thank you for your prompt reply.

If start planting from sea coast trees suitable for climate,soil &sea water will quickly grow trees & cover large regions also.Plants such as coconut, Jackfruit, cocum,jamun, mango ,neem,bamboo,babool many others useful trees.Better tall,spreading shades.

Sugiero probar con barreras curvas de altura para que el viento húmedo choque, se eleve y produzca nubes. Es posible que la lluvia sea muy escasa debido a la forma del terreno, en su mayoría plano o con alturas redondeadas donde el viento solo se desliza.

Botswana, Namibia and Angola (Africa) are looking for engineers to channel water from the Angola mountains, through their countries. Patterned after the success in China and the breakthough technologies to green the desert, these areas are looking for financial support for this huge project. Drawing from the need of settlements for refugees who had originated from Syria and other places in Africa, they are needed here to exchange work for living space. If they are coming from northern developed countries who have already accepted them as refugees, they are welcome to be re-settled here with the financial support from the country that had accepted them. Engineers from China and Japan are being called upon to supply technical knowledge on the best route for the water channel from the mountains of Angola, through Angola into Namibia and Botswana. These countries already have ancient canal systems, now seriously overgrown, never-the-less can be re-claimed and put back into use as conduits to grow crops, and, for aquaculture. Settlements for refugees can be placed on these abandoned canals, and be taught to replant the desert and restructure the canal. Refugees need to sign up through the country they want to settle in along with the pledge of monetary support from their former settlement country. Small temporary settlements, placed along the abandoned canal systems will be supplied with well water, seed for crops, trees for de-desertification and technological data to develop their patch into the whole system.

pero es la forma mas efectiva de replantar si lo que se busca es un muro de contención, además no es 100% seguro de que todas las plantas sobrevivan y lleguen a una etapa adulta dentro de 10 o 20 años (creo que el porcentaje es de 80%), además lo importante es reducir la fuerza destructiva y/o el peligro de las avalanchas, la parte estética es lo de menos

It is a good idea, but only if you protect it from goats. There is a reason why nothing grows. Those are tasty and juicy salads to them. They will not have a chance without some enclosure.
