How does the Groasis Waterboxx plant cocoon work against desertification?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- The Groasis Waterboxx plant cocoon is a polypropylene tray in the form of a donut. The Waterboxx plant cocoon, or the smart bucket "ensures that trees and shrubs can grow in dry, hot climates without the help of irrigation methods.
The advantage of the Waterboxx plant cocoon that they have no energy to plant trees, expensive irrigation methods need to be submitted, 90% less water has compared to traditional planting methods, 90% lower cost compared to traditional planting methods and regardless the environment is guaranteed survival rate of + 90% provided one plant according to the instructions.
The Waterboxx plant cocoon can be used ten times. This means that with one Waterboxx cocoon plant can be planted at least 10 trees over a period of 10 years. The cost per tree will then be up to € 2 to € 3.

I really love the background music in this one.
I can't hear anything
@@Blackoutfor10days Kinda the point @Rebel was making.

Yup! the sound of silence literally 😃
People won't forgive you.
Interesting idea. In the next version I would suggest that it be built as two separate, symmetrical pieces rather than a single "donut." The two pieces could be made to interlock like jigsaw puzzle pieces. This would allow the device to be removed with minimal damage to the tree. I suspect that this device is so heavy that many users dump out the water before moving it to a new tree. Breaking it into two separate pieces would also allow users to move it more easily.
Design it and offer it to Groasis.
very good idea, I thought of the same thing.
because when the tree grow up and Grow Their Branches it will be very difficult to remove the box without harming the tree.
Dear Robbykube The Groasis waterboxx is actually very cheap. About 8 times cheaper than irrigation and you also have no energy costs, no maintenance costs, you use no scarse groundwater and once your tree grows, after one year, you use the box for the next tree. I am already doing trials in Africa with the Government of Kenya, of Morocco, soon in Tanzania and Ethiopia, and it is a matter of time before it is used on a larger scale.
Kind regards

keep up the good work!
Groasis Ecological Water Saving Technology
can we apply this technology in area that is not a desert like a normal climate region?
The same question: Is this technology can be applied to normal climate region or only during hot summers?
Is it available in india

I live in the high mountain desert and have many trees. If you don't protect them from hungry animals they will be eaten. In a desert environment anything green is food. Trees must be in cages until their bark hardens and the leaves are out of reach of wildlife.
the fences enter the chat
Exactly. But they did solve the problem. It's a thin cone that goes into the box:

Dear Battery 9876 The overflow is necessary. In 2006, at the first trial in the Sahara I lost my whole trial. In that protoype was no overflow and I got 90 mm of rain in 10 minutes. That was 22 liters of water that went in 10 minutes through the central opening. . As the box was already full, all the water went through the central opening and washed all the trees out. That's how I learned that an overflow was necessary. regards Pieter
This looks like a great product, you should market this to gardeners as well, even nurseries.
This is a great innovation! Keep up the good work.
The Avocado Growers of California will greatly benefit from this. Peter , you should send your marketing team there. The atacado trees suck up a lot water .
Dear Battery9876 The top has no zigzag to increase or decrease the condensation surface. It is designed this way in order to get gravity on a horizontal surface. This way enabling to collect the condensation film. kind regards Pieter
- Regarding the shape of the cover, the bottom of the zigzag must have a funnel shape, but not necessarily the top. So maybe you could stretch the zigzag vertically all the way to the horizontal level of the top of the box. That would enable to have more surface and collect more condensation.
Best luck with your project.
What a genius idea!👍👍👍☺
Dear Peter,
Your invention is fantastic but I would make 2 suggestions:
-why have an overflow cap? Instead collect the extra water from inside by extending the wick to the top of the water line. When the tank is full the extra water goes through the wick. You can use a small hole in the wick at the level of the bottom of the tank to have the same feature as now.This could be useful in less dry places where rain would have a tendency to fill the tank, especially in the rain season in the tropics.

Dear eniac2007
There are no bad guys, there are people who have to make money to live and others who can do the tasks for you that you select. Try to find a treeplanting foundation or help next year on the national treeplanting day and teach children how to plant trees!

On the groasis site it says they can't sell right now because of a additional tax my advice is to include it in the sale to continue business while fighting the case I need some
Saudi Arabia should use this tool to green its huge desert
They are too busy wasting their own oil wealth on expensive cars, planes, and western whores.
I had the luck of attending to the conference that Mr Peter Hoff gave at the Green Solutions expo in Mexico, and I was amazed with the project. This goes further, The Treesolution is a proposal to solve many problems like desertification, hunger, and to mitigate the climate change. How can the project be supported towards it's goal to reforest the desert lands? Does it work through governments biddings?
we can also use this in home for carefree growing and also during start seedling during summer times
love this
solo funciona lo suficientemente bien si lo pones en:
Plant Joy polímero (reserva de agua de liberación lenta) [50 gr] 1,00 € ...
Leonardita...
micorriza...
suelo fertilizado osmocote (bio= solabiol) ...
todo esto es necesario para fortalecer las raíces más rápido y aumentar las posibilidades de que la planta sobreviva después de que se agote el contenedor.
Brilliant
What is needed I think is:
1. Have a designated project to plant these trees using waterboxx system, that are specifically usefull. Like the Chinese built the green wall of China in efforts to combat desertifacation, africa and europe should built the green wall of africac (from senegal to ethiopia) which helps secure farm land against desertification. Why not raise a foundation which collects money from donors to facilitate such a large scale project?
2. Planting trees with this system still is labour intensive. But it can be mechanized. Suppose for example we have a cilindric containe (someting the size of an oil barrel), made from compostable materials, stiff enough so that it can survive shipping and handling but not a barrier for the root system to grow, which get prepared with the waterboxx system and the tree to be planted, and we have a machine that digs the cilindric hole, lowers the cilinder containing the waterboxx and tree, and can plant a hundred trees a day. After planting the only postprocessing is adding water to the container.
Watching the video, I was thinking something compostable would be good. The container can be made of recycled paper or untreated wood fibre, which the tree and the weather can break down over time. I'm guessing the dew collector on the top would have to be made of a plastic material, probably polypropylene or polyethylene, to generate condensation at night.
Looking at other videos, it appears that the creator, Pieter Hoff, has since created a cardboard version (this video is from 2010). He has also managed to get Spain and Dubai involved in regrowing their deserts.
They developed conpostable ones and mechanical hole drills.
good, but without enough rain in the desert how the trees survive after removing waterbox?
The tree must reach groundwater and be adapted to the desert (which means storing water in its tissues and avoid losing humidity).
@@brauliofernandesss I think there should be artificial rain water storage tank for each plant and trees also so that they get some water year long. so with little rain they live longer.
While watering plants inside groasis box r they mixing organic manuals with it .I think if use kitchen market waste;grind in big machines mix with water then give to trees. May help in growing plants better way.Also after eating fruits don't crush it dig holes; put into soil. Or if no time collect the seeds dry it &throw on space available. &makes the land fertile. Please try it.
Do you have a model that can clip together around the tree to allow for more growth prior to removal? Would allow longer placement and can sell more units which can be deployed at greater scale for longer duration with increased chances of success
50 cm3 ( 50 ml ) = 2 ounces or 1/4 cup, @ 2:44
Waw !!!......this is so smart idea of converting desert into forest......
This is for ideal condition. How condensation occur if the upper surface covered with sand layer. Please share
Dear Ceduquey
From each version there is a silent and a sound version. In the title I have the words 'music version'. These are with sound.
kind regards
Pieter Hoff
This sounds like something out of "Dune" by the late great Frank Herbert.
Very nice idea
Will these forests be able to regenerate on their own in the desert or will they eventually die out because of the original issue, which is that there is not enough rainfall to ensure germination and sustained growth?
Once growing the full size trees can trade water to smaller plants through fungus in the ground
Amazing !! I hope to try this concept !
I wish,.I can get help to make our Indian desert greener...
We see on discovery Chanel how bill grill makes water for survival. But , same principles are used ! Great
Great innovation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we want to plant trees in Balochistan . i love this idea.
I wish I could buy those boxes to plant trees in the desert.
Can the roots always find water independently? What about ground composition such as clay or hard stone.
I was wondering: Would a larger version of the box intended to capture water for drinking work or would it not work? I was just thinking since it's based on the lid being cooler than air temp maybe a scaled up version would work too?
"Solar Stills" and "Dew Harvesting" are related concepts that may have things which do what you are thinking about.
no way. looks very inteligent! I saw video about desert problems in China. Sand is covering backland street tracks. I REALY wonder if it would be possible to grow plants at rhe road area to stop the sand from blowing over it.
WOuld be a nice experiemnt. Realy. WOuld prove it works and has a benefit.
Were can I buy one? would like to have :)
MASHAALLAH khub valo video
you need to use some sound on the video. It helps to people pay more attention. Just a suggestion. Great work
I do hope that your limited attention span has improved over the past 9 years . . .
No one:
When youtube decided to put it in your recomended videos
Nice video 👍
the water go´s down two meters, must i befor checking , where is the groundwater? that the tree living longer? it´s a great idea....!!!!! or good for almond or orange?
Wonderful.
Doesn’t the searing heat of the sun fry any tender shoot that dares poke it’s green little head above the soil?
Where does all the sand that is blow in go??
genius
It is so good
Always there is also the need to protect the saplings from dangerous goats and sheep.
Amazing
Very commendable
Used to love watching the same cycle happen in the early mornings at the indoor pool where I grew up, always made me wonder why folks were so worried about water shortages, (Guess they were just busy swimming laps or something,,,) :)
Technique is awesome but transforming deserts into forest may have devastating effect.
Good to know, keep up the good work 👍
Plant tall,spreading shadows trees from sea-coast area taking availability of se water, off course suitable to soil&climate of the regions such as coconut Jackfruit jamun mango cocum banyan peeple,umber etc.When tree grows move inside the regions, This will fasten the project to green more, * more land green
mi mama trabaja en eso
Wonderful
What are the updates...
I think that I am a little confused. I like the principal purpose of the waterboxx. However, I understood that once I put water in the tank, I would not have to fill it again. The waterboxx would draw water out of the air through condensation and would always be close to full. Please correct me on where I am wrong.
I think that the amount of water produced from condensation is less then the amount (they state 50mls per day) that is wicking out the bottom
Prix,?
Bravo!
@Robbykube the gadget your looking for can be seen here, watch?v=c9fepEyGRx8 but i find this product too costly despite the fact they promote it as something to use to help poor people in areas without clean water. i feel these should cost around 10 dollars not 50 ( solar distiller )
This is very interesting, but can you leave the box in the nature? I mean, what about the plastic?
In another video they said the box is made from bio plastic so it will be composred in about 5 years
@@juliusruchhoeft1967 nice, because it wouldn't make much sense growing trees if you're leaving plastic all around.
This one can be reused. There are also compostable ones
Amazing!
So, these are supposed to be like big plastic bird poops?
What is the cost for one
How can i have this waterbox??
Do you know any seller in India?
Dear Peter,
Please answer this question, it is for a research paper of mine and would be greatly appreciated
Can this waterboxx help third world countries achieve such growing plantations? and how can this be done?
Thank you
Can a tree absorb as much co2 which was released manufacturing this waterbox?
Dear SurvivalSquirrel,
The production of one Groasis Waterboxx causes the emission of 2 kilos of CO₂. You can plant 10 years x 1 tree = 10 trees with one box. One tree disconnects app. 1,500 kilos of CO₂ in 50 years. The 10 trees disconnect 15,000 kilos of CO₂. This means that the net CO₂ disconnection of one Groasis Waterboxx is app. 14,998 kilos.
SurvivalSquirrel Does one gallon of water have the same value in the desert as in the Amazon River? Is a green tree a tree a tree, be it in the desert or the dense woods of Maine?
Co2 is harmless. The waterboxx doesn't have to offset anything.
Why can the bucket only be used 10 times?
Degradation due to UV I would imagine.
Plastic???
Now if only someone could subsidize these. We need this in Africa but it would still be expensive for farmers. Unless governments step in.
Can seeds be dropped from space on Mars?
please get in touch, azem have a wonderful product,
I don't think the physical explanation is this video is correct. Could a physicist look into it? The surface of the Waterboxx should gain lower temperatures than the ambient air for condensation to occur. This can only occur by radiation against a dark and clear sky during the night. I miss this in you explanation. A sound physical explanation might also lead to some improvements in the design.
As this device is used in desert a with no cloud cover, the plastic lid does get cooler at night. The device works very well.
Please do that
This will change the world if it's only affordable
quite funny statement at the start! Nature does not plant the seeds? then goes on to describe exactly how nature plants the seeds (via the birds) no wonder we urban cultures have no idea how to manage natural resources on this planet. Have no idea what the definition of nature is...
Can we get these boxes in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India?
Use a few hundred milion of these things on Mars to seed genetically modified trees adapted to the atmospheric conditions and in 100 years time the planed will be breathable!
Other than the -150F temperatures on Mars.
I would think that this product could be made from something other than plastic and that the pesticide/herbicide could be non-toxic. I feel we have the ability to do much better with science to create better less toxic products both in the product itself and in the making of the product. There is also a similar product called "cocoon" which does this. I do not know which is better regarding the actual growing of a tree, nor regarding environmental issues.
We have tried other kinds of plastic, but they weren't strong enough. We use virgin plastic because when you plant a tree in the desert, the box have to withstand the sun for 10 years! Besides this, we have the Growboxx which is made from recycled paper and can be used one time only! The Growboxx is completely safe for nature and FDA approved (so you can safely plant fruit trees/vegetables with it).
I don't think the physical explanation in this video is not correct. Could a physicist look into that. The surface of the waterbox must be at a lower temperature than the air to cause condensation. The lower temperature can only be generated through radiation during the night. I don't see this in you explanation.It might change the design somewhat, perhaps.
Dear Taopiet Thanks for your reaction. Pls read my book on the website thetreesolutioncom , there you'll find my vision on this subjject. kind regards Pieter

how much cost
Hi Baba, we start from €20 per box, since the box is 10 times reusable! Please visit our online store: www.groasis.com/shop/consumers/plant-trees-in-a-water-saving-way
♡
The texts are too small to read.
I don't get it trees still need water after the first year, you can't just leave it like that!
The whole idea behind this is that the roots grow deeper to find enough water. So they reach the underground water supply/reservoir then the tree no longer needs the cover.
Trees need additional water/ideal circumstances to get established. You would presumably plant a species native to the area, and this box helps the tree survives the establishment period with minimal water.
azem ali you can contact us via info@groasis.com For more information please visit our website groasis.com
How the cost in dollars?
Dear Andreilucaci81 You can buy them per 10 pieces in our webshop at groasis dot c o m
