The challenges of planting in mountainous areas

These areas have various problems:

  1. Planting before the snow falls and the frost period starts is difficult;
  2. Often, the recently planted trees or bushes die because frost hits their undeveloped root systems;
  3. The planting period is very short;
  4. Planting after the snow has melted is difficult because the period between cold and warm (or even hot) temperatures is very short;
  5. This results in a too warm, hot and/or dry climate for the roots to develop fast enough in the mostly rocky soil, which would create a balance between the water capturing capacity and the water evaporating quantity of the leaves.

The Groasis waterboxx solves these problems:

  1. You can plant saplings year-round when there is no snow; but the best period is at the end of the summer;
  2. It gives you the necessary capacity to plant big areas;
  3. You can plant two saplings per box;
  4. In the following summer, you cut the smallest of the two saplings trees if both have survived the first winter;
  5. You can also leave them both;
  6. If only one survived, you still have a planting success;
  7. In general, planting with the waterboxx in mountainous areas will give, using the different methods, close to a 100% planting result;
  8. If you use the biodegradable model of the waterboxx, it can serve as a source of nutrients after degrading; and you do not have to return to remove them.

Here are a number of photos that prove that trees and shrubs grow well on rocks.
