Now we can grow plants even in DESERT !! | Groasis technology

- The Groasis Waterboxx and Growboxx, innovated by Dutch businessman Pieter Hoff, are an attempt to help plants thrive in the most arid and extreme conditions by using up to 90% less water.
This has been made possible with the Waterboxx plant cocoon technology, innovated by Dutch businessman Pieter Hoff. In 2003, he retired from his lily and tulip export business and came up with this technology to help different types of plants grow in arid regions. Today, Groasis is involved in reforestation and ecosystem restoration projects.

What an absolutely incredible solution to help tackle desertification! This video replicates a perfect example of exactly the type of learning content that I hope to come across, which gets me extremely eager to binge watch a lot more learning videos! Simple, concise, and very engaging! Exemplary content, my friend! Keep up the excellent work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cultivating a grouping of hemp in front of trees to block the sun radiation while providing shade and will also assist to capture morning dew contributing to the amount of water available during early stages of trees growth.
Been wanting to play with some of these for a decade or so. I may get some cheap high desert land and try that out at some point. I welcome the challenges and lessons of that experience.
I have many years of natural gardening experience in Vermont, the contrasts between the NE and SW are super interesting. In the wet you often need to raise beds and compost pile for enough drainage. In the desert you may need to grow in depressions and compost in pits.
I would try out a single depression garden with a compost pit in the lowest area. I would use the Groasis tech to get hardy nitrogen fixing trees going around the pit and chop\drop branches into the pit to help feed the second wave of food-bearing trees. Once there is consistent shade and biomass accumulation I would try out groundcover and vining plants.
Got the pit composting idea from Geoff Lawton's videos. I love gathering nuggets of gardening wisdom from everywhere and putting it together in ways that make sense for me and seeing how nature responds. If that depression worked I would have a model to expand from, pocket gardens would spread and eventually start networking together with birds and mycorrhizae and seeds and pollen and insects and all that good stuff.
Pretty cool that some useful plants, like prickly pear cactus, can grow on their own in the high desert. I would help them spread like crazy on my land, that is a major food prep for the desert. Prickly pear pads and a small flock of chickens to feed on compost biomass full of insects for eggs would get you through hard times for a while. I love how Edible Acres adapted Geoff Lawton's chicken tractor idea which was adapted from Karl Hammer's chicken composting operation in VT. They made it work on a small scale, though they do trade for whole grain which is mixed with the compost to sprout. I would want to feed the chickens entirely from that patch of land.
Awsome! I love vid's like this. They are so inspirational.
Thank u for the support🤗
good
Thanks
Ohk good
Thank u
This + a sun filter (shield) that keeps out animals, drying wind, UV, holds in moisture. Cone shaped, not a tube, is more stable. The key is the transfer of water "as needed" by the rope.
Sorry not sure what you mean with cone shaped? Thx
@@nova131313 Everyone puts/uses a tube shaped protector over the sapling because that is all there is. It needs a stake. It restricts. A cone, big end down, works better.
how does plant grow without sunlight and air???
The plant need sunlight to grow even using this technology, But here water usage is drastically reduced when we use this system.
Great idea, but radically silenced 'of course'.
Growing in the desert? Wat nutrients?! We need high-rise greenhouses & fish tanks. More Mead less wheat. Whole world full of grass shit & hair, fibres & garbage
