I wish you all the luck in the world, use plenty of mulch to retain moisture. Greetings from Cornwall.

Really? Good for you !

Amazing 🤩

🥰🥰🥰🥰

Groasis Water boxx - easy peasy.

many trees is like natural airconditioning, i have experienced this

Exactly...do you think they cpuld pant some back in oz too...we got a seriouse desert problem and fracking is just going to make it worse😦

@@alfredquadros2082 you are most likely south American judging by the name which by the way u was colonized by Europeans so you yourself are European

@@alfredquadros2082 And the 1.38 billion in china? Are they Europeans also?

Brother you could try the Miyawaki forest method. Study it in detail and employ. it works each and every time

Bro don't lose hope, try same technique for ur strength in ur area city u can be a change

Don't wait for anyone take ur first step , u will b followed by some group

Do it brother!

The only problem is that planting trees here wont work. The only thing that will work is to bring back the grasslands that's used to be by using massive amounts of livestock managed properly, the science behind this can be found in the 4 ecosystem process and you will realize that livestock is the only way you can address these degrading processes, which HAS to be taken into consideration when one is about to regenerate an ecosystem. If you really care for the planet, you should be open minded to this and find this approach interesting to study. If you are going to vilify it, your ego is in charge of you

Do the Zai method, YAKUBA SAWADOGO FROM BURKINA FASO i think, he built a forest, just by digging holes during rain season n out manure

indiscriminate tree planting should not be encouraged

Done it,in my small garden I have a plum tree and now a apple tree these are semi dwarf trees,most people can have a dwarf tree.Collectively this would make a difference,share the fruit with your friends and family !

I do so, trying to plant out trees every day, every year, during the Autumn and Winter months in Scotland. It's somewhat exasperating at times - as we currently have far too many deer and they eat so many different types of trees. But it's a learning experience (and I figure out which species browsers don't like as I go along). There's nothing greater than looking up at a 30ft tree and thinking - I grew that from a tiny seed the size of a pinhead.

@@OA-iu3vh They know what they are doing, and will succeed. Meanwhile the naysayers will be left scratching their heads in bewilderment, lol.

Yes, I think the work the Lawtons are doing in Jordan is more sustainable, and it's not political.

@@stoverboo And doesn't usurp or encroach on anybody's land. Not saying that the areas mentioned in this video do so but if the methods described herein were shared with their Palestinian brethren, a large part of the region could have been coexisting & prospering in peace for many decades. I've come to the conclusion that the whole mess is more about power, politicians' self interests & their realisation that instability ensures that power and religion is the political weapon of choice in their win at all costs war to retain said power; if a few Israelis & a whole lot of Palestinians die - who cares!? Sickening really & truth be told, nothing new in the history of humanity.

You do need a source of mulch though

@@Zoanodar Agreed but that's where food waste from both commercial & domestic sources in towns, cities & villages comes into play. Far better that it is treated as a resource & collected and composted than going into landfill, creating methane as it breaks down.

@@stoverboo No, it is quite political, the Arab Palestinian Nationalist issue is often addressed in n Geoff’s vids. He married a Bedouin Muslim girl, he had to convert to al-Islam in order to do so, do his political stance is the standard Brit-Arab Nationalist perspective. He is a Farmer-Surfer Permaculturist, one of the finest in the world. Given that Israel has implemented many permaculture/regen ag since the first Aaliyah when Jewish Repatriates began cleaning up the disaster the Mamelukes and the Turks created, and was exacerbated by standard Arab.grazing and farming practices. The grandmasters of water management, the remains of the Nabatean water techniques were closely studied by the Jews. And the ancient water management structures all across Israel were rebuilt, just as is happening in India today. Geoff and his wife, Nadia and their Greening the Desert 2 project are doing amazing things, and spreading much needed learning and skills, but they do allow the standard Arab Nationalist stance into their vids.

+thebluedragon07 Maybe young men from those regions could put away their AKs and pick up shovels to save their countries.

would definitely solve their hunger problem for sure. Be able to raise more livestock, and could help with their exporting goods.

there is no hunger problem today there is enough food produced in the western civilizations to feed the whole planet. the lack is love as a whole in the world we can use allot more of worldly love.we need to plant more trees out of love to earth.and not just because we can exploit it.we need trees to support and better the oxygen in the atmosphere. there is so much deforestation going on. we need the reforestation surpass it!

arabs are too busy. spent all their time to enjoy and hate isreal

That would be amazing. A potential problem though is that people would want to clear it and plow it up. Then after a few decades of production it would be desert again. This kind of "farmland" would need to be strictly permaculture with no tillage, very carefully managed grazing, and minimal water extraction with a strict eye on the water table.

yes that is a great invention I think he has done keyline design as well which can store water from rain. i think we need to do combination of waterboxx with keyline design

Beverley Price, also look up Dr. Elaine Ingham.

The Sahara will be a verdant fertile region again. You'll just have to wait about another 15,000 years for the cycle to rinse & repeat. 🤪😋

The answer to that question depends on the rainfall and soil quality (amongst other factors). It's hard to give an accurate estimate with so many variables.

Yeah also the water table etc

Since they are the wrong type for the wrong climate I'm sure they are pretty much all dead. But it's not the planting that's important, it's the money the JNF gets that counts.

When there are trees, birds show up to make nest. When they defecate, out comes out seeds from species of plants from food they ate elsewhere. Pretty soon, new plants are growing in the shade provided by the trees. This is how remote volcanic islands in the Pacific end up with vegetation.

Jacques Gauthier Exactly. And many many species lay dormant even in the he most arid desert, trees and shrubs included. Obviously ecological diversity helps, but you need a few fast growing, deep rooting species maturing at different heights, and species that are prone to catching dew and are mulching a lot, so mychoriza and other mycelia can form. You have to establish single species of extremely dry-hardy trees and grasses to begin building wind breaks, canopy's and shades, before you can sustain most other species. You basically need to establish a carbon based body that absorbs and retains enough water that it reaches a thermal stability where the evaporation creating Zeer's cooling effect compensates in water retention by condensation equal or more than the mass evaporated. This is why mulching with organic "waste", swaling and some inutial irrigation are great strategies for boosting reforestation efforts. Nature is its own catalyst. Recommend watching "what does plants talk about" and some 101 on permaculture.

True comments, Lynn. But do google Pando, the huge genetically identical forest in Utah and listen to a podcast about it. Every area needs its unique solution, but of course, bio diversity is ideal.

Calys Agora Great comment, thank you!

Hi

It gives more oxygen, and less carbon.

at the begging pine trees were most commonly planted but now when we are more aware of biodiversity they plant more different types of trees. eculyptuses were also commonly planted but i dont think they plant them anymore. In the desert however they plant in limans (mini lakes in the desert) not pine trees, but acacia, tamarix trees and others , check the wikipedia page the main species are written there

Hopefully not the kind the JNF planted in Apartheid Israel but which burned quickly in the dry climate and caused massive forest fires recently.

And they'll win.

Katrian Wira I believe these and more that I found on a KKL website. The encouragement of local varieties of bushes and shrubs such as thorny saltwort (Noaea mucronata), distaff thistle (Atractylis comosa), mitnan / hairy thymelaea (Thymelaea hirsuta) and Arabian Boxthorn (Lycium shawii) ((I believe this one Mehmet Dogan calls gharqad Arabic الغرقر, אטד 'aTaD (Hebrew))), ether with a wider variety of herbaceous plants, should be considered, and planting density and composition should be changed. Native species of tree such as the terebinth / Mount Atlas pistache (Pistacia atlantica), buckthorn (Rhamnus disperma), prunus (Prunus korshinskyi), sumac (Rhus tripartita) and different varieties of acacia are common throughout the Negev...
