The Groasis waterboxx can be used for:

In nature a seed first develops its roots before the plant starts to grow. The logic of this concept is that the plant first provides itself with water before the water begins to evaporate.

This means that when we use the Groasis waterboxx, we must try to follow the same principles and so we have to plant our trees as small as possible.

Choose plants that are in balance with the environment

If we want to reforest the world or plant a tree in our garden, we have to consider which trees, shrubs or plants can survive after their roots have reached the capillary water. Some species can be used all over the world and other species only in specific regions. In the dry savannas of Mongolia different trees are growing from those in the savannah of Mali or in a garden in California due to the differences in temperature. To make the right choice we only have to take a look around us whether we see old specimens of certain varieties of plants, then we know they will survive if we remove the Groasis waterboxx after 1 or 2 years (after the tree roots have reached the capillary).

When we have made this choice, we can start planting. This is simple: we do NOT make a deep planting hole, but just a small hole of 10 cm deep at the most, only to break the hard surface layer, put the tree in the hole together with the pot soil, put some of the soil back and put the Groasis waterboxx on top of it. In case we are planting on rocks and it is not possible to dig a hole, we have to look for a crevice, put the pot soil of the tree on the crevice and put the Groasis waterboxx over the tree. The roots will automatically enter the crevices and start looking for water.

After a year or so we check how deep the roots are. If they are deep enough, we simply lift the Groasis waterboxx and put it elsewhere. We once again plant a tree in its centre and repeat the process. In this way one Groasis waterboxx can be reused at least 10 times. That too is sustainability.
