In order to have a better result from the Groasis waterboxx AquaPro has developed a capillary drill.

• Planting in deserts and dig planting holes by hand is too hard work
• Often the soil is also too hard, caused by the sunshine and drying out, to even be able to dig a planting hole
• When bringing the waterboxx into the soil, it cannot be blown away by strong winds
• In many eroded areas and deserts there is a hardpan that the trees are not able to break through with their root system
• When planting the tree 20 cm deeper into the soil, its roots do not have to break through the hardpan and they are already 20 cm closer to the capillary hang water
• If the work is too labor intensive, too many workers are needed. It is practically impossible to organize housing, food, washing, drinking, etc. etc. for so many people in desert areas
• When it rains in deserts it rains hard and many times there even falls a lot of water. But as the soil is too hard to get into, this water flows immediately to the lowest places and in most cases it will be transported with rivers that are 11 months dry, to lower areas. The water doesn’t even get a chance to get into the soil
• The work can be planned. With the machine the number of trees that are able to plant per man hour can be calculated. In this way the cost price of restoring deserts is easy to calculate.
• With the capillary drill it becomes possible to make time frames of planting periods

• The capillary drill
• Planting with the capillary drill in San Mateo Zaragossa, Spain (June 2010)
• Capillary drill tests in Spain (May 2010)
