Greening the desert
This is a short
reminder just how feasible it is to green the desert. It is not
really a lot of work either and the maintenance can be minimal.
Taking this individual example and applying it thousands of times
gives us a desert eating enterprise that easily self renews as
exhaled moisture returns at night as rain.
The rapid return
of fungi is impressive. The mulch cover also shelters the forming
soils from the sun. it does not need much moisture to sustain all
this.
The more serious
take home for all of us is that we do not have to wait for the
establishment of a wet belt on the edge of the desert at all. It is
sufficient to follow the described protocol to create a band of trees
that are themselves part of a developing wet belt.
