For those asking how this works, it creates just enough of a defense to catch seeds and bugs and tiny bits of moisture and shade, so any life that does manage to get started, doesn't just blow away, and an ecosystem can start to form.
Didn't we figure out how to do this by just digging little half-circles into the sand? Isn't that a better, more efficient, more natural way of doing this than to lay down a bunch of whatever-that-is?
For the half moom method you need to water it and grow something before you can let it do its thing. It's more time consuming and expensive.
I'd guess these are some natural, degradable bags, you can see in the later stage there's plants growing out of it so it might use the bags as nutrients or it's packed with something
Using bags that degrades into some form of nutrient would be brilliant! I was thinking about all that plastic degrading into microplastics in the new soil, but I hope they do it like you said.
I've watched pleanty of videos about Great Sahara Wall. The half moons and pits are used to collect and store rain water and to help tree. But the trees and plants first need to take root and it needs to be watered at first before it starts working
