Mountainous areas
These areas have various problems:
- Planting before the snow falls and the frost period starts is difficult
- Often the recently planted trees or bushes die because of frost because their root system has not developed yet
- The planting period is very short
- Planting after the snow has melted is difficult because the period between cold and warm (or even hot) temperatures is very short
- This results in a too warm, hot and/or dry climate for the roots to develop fast enough in the mostly rocky soil to create a balance between the water capturing capacity and the water evaporating quantity of the leaves
The Groasis waterboxx solves these problems:
- You can plant saplings yearround when there is no snow, but the best period is at the end of the Summer
- This gives you the necessary capacity to plant big areas
- You plant two saplings per box
- In the next summer you cut the smallest of the two saplings trees if both have succeeded to survive the first winter
- You can also leave them both
- If only one succeeded to survive you still have a planting result
- In general planting with the waterboxx in mountainous areas will give, through using the different methods, a close to 100% planting result
- If you use the biodegradable model the box can serve as nutrient after being degraded and you do not have to return to remove them
