1. Planting a project for Aguas Andinas in Fundo El Rutal, comuna de Til Til Chile

2. The planting is done in January 2012, in the middle of their summer

3. This is the size of the plants January 2012

4. Fourty Groasis waterboxxes with Espina trees (Acacia caven) are planted

5. This soil is sensible for collapsing after receiving water

6. Therefore sometimes the soil and the box do not connect causing the wick to dry out

7. There is a control group of one year old watered two weekly

8. Because of the collapsing the soil shrinks causing secundary roots to break

9. This is the size of the trees planted with the Waterboxx® 8 weeks after planting a growth in length of 5 cm per week

10. Survey March 2012 protection against animals with chicken wire

11. The plants have grown approximately 40 cm in 8 weeks

12. A test to protect against animals with cola bottles

13. Plant size January 2012

14. Plant size March 2012

15. We prune the plants to one straight stem

16. Detail of pruning

17. Two pruned trees of each 40 cm after 8 weeks

18. We start a trial to protect against animals with a plastic cover instead of chicken wire this is much cheaper

19. We make some openings to create ventilation

20. We put the sleeve around the first tree

21. We put a sleeve around the second tree

22. We put a stick in the middle

23. Then the covers are connected with wire

24. Final result of animal protection for a cost price of 1 cent per cover

25. Ms. Annika Schuettler measures the weekly growth rate

26. She uses the same pen every week as a comparison
