    If you ask me, they should plant cedar, pine, AND tall trees with canopies near the top. Not just one of these kinds of trees, but a variety.These will grab a hold of the soil, handle the dry conditions until things change, and give shade. The leaves that fall from the tall trees will start creating a new, fertile soil on top of the sand. They are having great results with this in parts of Asia and Africa, from what I hear. Just re-planting the desert plants that already existed isn't going to change the desert landscape much. Although drought-resistant and well-rooted, many of those pre-existing plants are low to the ground, prickly, and offer no real foliage that would provide shade or re-fertilize the soil. If you want climate change for the better, you have to change what you plant. Simple as that.

    10 years on & no progress follow up video. A common trend which is a shame as I can see from other examples of Groasis's work that it's a viable technology. Perhaps if there was more followup work done it just might help grow your business faster and in possibly, a more efficient manner. As the old saying goes, " Seeing is believing."

You are correct: follow ups are just (and probably more) important. We agree! ^MK

Look at Tesla. No traditional advertising but their company keeps on growing; mainly through UA-cam, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram amongst others, i.e. word of mouth. Now they've got 3 massive Gigafactories. One of which is under expansion in under a year, a 4th under construction & a 5th that's likely to commence construction within the next few months. There's a lesson in there somewhere.
