Govt dont have to do, but encourage with funds and creating a policy with guidelines and information how to build and what machinery and plants required.
Where will I find govt owned barren land. I mean how to know that for sure. I have no idea but I'm keen on planting trees. Already filled my backyard, want to do more.
mahi sinha :D i am currently filling my backyard too, there’s 2 year old 3 mango trees, 3 years old 1 tree of and 3-5 mnths old of 4 avocado trees , 3-5 mnth old 2 banana trees, 8 years old 3 pomogranate trees, 1 rudraksha tree, and other various shrubs and herbs and flowering and non flowering plants plus some vegies. And i am planning to plant walnut trees next and plant them into some govt owned lands and public lands.
I bury the seeds from my orchard around rivers and other places that collect moisture on public lands. i just use a thick rod to plant with just stabbing the ground and tossing in the seed smushing down the hole with my foot after. I just started last year but was able to find quite a few spots to put down alot of seeds. It makes for a much more rewarding hike.
I have created 5 Miyazaki model Micro Forests each of around 1000Sq Ft and about 300 Saplings and 40 local species. The oldest being 13 Months , looks beautiful --Some trees have grown upwards of 20 Ft, the fast growing ones, varieties of Teak have grown allot 12 Ft --Sitting inside this forest and meditate, it is Bliss --All these near Chennai of India
Very happy to know that it has been an inspiration to you. 🙏 It could prove a motivation to many if you could share pics of your forest at our site www.crowdforesting.org
ഇന്നു നിങ്ങൾ അമൃതയിൽ സംഘടിപ്പിച്ച ക്ലാസ്സിൽ ഞാൻ പങ്കെടുത്തിരുന്നു. വളരെ നന്ദി ഇത്രയും മഹത്തായ ഒരു ചുവടുവപിന്, ഈ രീതിയെ പരമാവധി ആളുകളിലേക്കേ തിക്കാനും പ്രാവർത്തികമാക്കുവാനും ഞങ്ങളും ശ്രമിക്കും
I am a professional tree planter. I plant 1500 per day covering 2 hectares. Every day. I am only one man on a 30 man crew, and there are 2 more crews just with this one contractor. There are several other contractors just like us. 800 trees with all of that expense is not fighting climate change one bit.
Gustavo Adolfo he was just pointing out the fact that the amount of resources used in planting those 800 trees could have gone towards MANY more if they were planted in a more traditional manner. No need to get your panties in a wad.
As a planter/farmer/landscaper I'm glad to see your comment. They could have done so much more with the amount of money they spent doing all that. It's not necessary for them to do all that removal of 1m of topsoil in a location already surrounded by trees and vegetation (which shows that the soil is good enough to plant those trees without all that work in the first place). It's also hilarious that they filled the sides of the dug up area with cement. However, the site that they chose to do this project would be more useful for them as a "proof a of concept"; to prove that they are capable of building a mini forest in the middle of a concrete jungle (city) that lacks any greenery. The techniques are all there, they just have to go destroy some unused buildings in the middle of the city, dig all the debris and contaminated soil out then plant a mini forest there.
@@TubersAndPotatoes Not sure if you are familiar with the tropics, but in many of these countries entire hillsides and even mountain ranges are denuded of former forest; and growing nothing but brush and grass. I would love to show the locals what is possible, but I get a sense of a lack of even wanting to consider a solution. The cities are just fucked, but the hillsides and watersheds can be healed.
@@mikek9488 Yes, I live in the tropics. A lot of Oil Palm plantations where I'm from. I'm talking about thousands of hectares per Plantation. Sometimes I see remnants of giant dipterocarp trees, a single giant standing tall and alone dwarfing all the other oil palm trees. It makes me sad to think decades ago tens of thousands of hectares all around were filled with those giants.
For those commenting about costs of the project: u are right but forgat about one thing. This project is set up in such a way that it is "risk free" in every part of it's design. They spend a whole lot of extra labour, money and time ensuring that whatever they are planting will survive. This serves two purposes: 1: government doesn't fail, thus doesn't visably waste any public money. 2: motivates the volunteers that are putting their time and effort into this. Imagine the public outrage if they decide to do things naturally and low cost and it should fail. People helping will not do so again and future volunteers will be less likely to join. Fundings would also collaps cause who is going to back failing projects? They did a good job and though it can be improved on in the future it is still inspiring to see a community working together on fighting climate change.
This plantation distancing was very appropriate. Usually in a Miawaki operation, assorted seeds are carpet-spread across the square project area and sowen without any space in between the seeds. Desire for that method is to grow a impenetrable forest. But the loss of saplings is also great as trees kill each other in competition within.
Thank you for the comment. Prof Miyawaki or his team doesnt advice spreading seeds. They plant 3 saplings in square meter. May be somebody might have introduced the method of spreading seeds at some point. No idea sir.
Excellent initiative ! We as a society need to work on making green places greener.... and then hope that someone can start with the browns too... Just for the sake of making a pertinent comment for those wanting to copy the Miyawaki technique, there is no requirement of investing in a drip irrigation system , simple watering with a pipe to simulate rainfall is more than adequate. You could use recycled water for this, and of course dont forget to get the workers to keep their fingernails short and wash hands after maintenance work. I hope six monthly updates will be posted on the progress of the forest. Best wishes to afforestation folks.
only problem I can see is if the coconut was un-buffered since most coconuts grow by the the sea saltwater gets blown on to the coconuts and can build up salt which if not fully rinsed out can leach salt in to the biomass. although as long as the species selected can handle elevated levels of salinity.
If we can give something to our future generations green planet is the ultimate gift.good job guys. I am trying to raise some saplings of fruit trees using the seeds from fruits that my family consumes. Go green ✌
Great idea! Such a perfect example to evrery country with so much deforestation! I hope one day, I will be able to do the same at least in my own property! Amazing, just amazing!
Best way to grow trees but it's take Good investment , that's good for our city's and governments have to invest and involved all our the world no doubt that's fastest way to make a forest
I am also going to do this project new year inshallah in our village actually the forest of our village is getting too much damage I want to recover.actually I need also machinery for that because I can't affort.this year I try but due to lack of support I can't do anything
great project! after how many months can you stop watering the forest? i.e in how many months does it become self sustainable without requiring human intervention?
I think this demonstration would be too labor intensive to implement on a real forest-sized project. I do like that little seedlings were collected from places and grown - a variety of trees that self-seed around the area. I do not know how many of these trees were food producing trees, but it is important, when planning massive reforestation efforts, to incorporate various food trees both for people and for the animals. I love trees, but certain species do not add to the environment for wood, food, shade or beauty.
Right now most of our experiments are with mini forest. When it become macro, the implementation will be done in various phase. You can gather information from any native person who knows about the saplings. Thank you
Well planned, organised, money spent, cared for, executed projects like this are for PR purpose only. Show the world what the poorest of the poor in India can do in afforestation. That will make the difference. Not how well planned, organised afforestation can be. This will cost the exchequer money and there will be lack of interest. Allow nature to regenerate the land with trees and other plant types. It can create the type of landscape suits best. Minimal, preferably zero, interference to nature is the best method of afforestation.
Nobody questions the wisdom in leaving Nature untouched and waiting for afforestation to happen by itself. But excessive depletion of natural resources, rapid urbanisation and climate changes warrant rapid afforestation and Prof. Miyawaki's model is the best available, time tested one. If there is something more better, we can definitely try it.
I wish I get an opportunity to work for environment in a Big scale. Unfortunately I don't have that opportunity. I have made a miniature garden on my roof top urban forestry 😍
@@aleenaprasannan2146 can you tell me where lime shell is available. I have 2 coconut trees. I use the husk in the garden but it takes very very long to turn to manure. I'm from pune.
This might be fast, but definitely not efficient. The amount of work and processing spent on that small plot of land seems way too large to even make this a net positive
the title said fast. from the look of your page you have too much shit for brains to see the """net positive""" in trying to save the earth from MORONS like you.
@@dylanflegg8398 Have you ever worked with plants, in the fields, or any forests before? I understand what the guy above is saying, being a planter and farmer/landscaper myself. You don't need to excavate and remove at least 1 meter of top soil, then import in all those expensive fill to replace them. It's not necessary to put in all those cement block walls lining up all that removed soil either. The fact that there's so many other vegetation and big trees nearby shows that those trees that they are planting will do just fine without all that additional work, it just needs some maintenance from time to time. They spent a ridiculous amount of money to do unnecessary things. It might make sense if they were doing this in the middle of an urban city where they had to tear down a building and remove contaminated or dead soil. Also that planting distance between trees (1m² per tree) might be a huge problem in the future depending on the species.
TubersAndPotatoes I live in this area and the top soil hear is very compacted, acidic and is clayey. For the forest to grow and the root system to network fast, it is beneficial to agitate, add percolation and shells. These aren't shrubs, but large trees, which need roots to penetrate deep. As for the concreting work, I'm not sure either, but it is a hill so they might have done that so the agitated and loosened soil wouldn't get washed off during rain before the roots are established
Thank you... Please watch video at ... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h3desscXaKQ.html It certainly has the answer to your query and apprehension.
A compost layer on the bottom and lose loamy dirt on top at 3 feet depth with fertilizer on the top will definitely work as long as you got water and sun. It cost a lot though. But it is doable.
Very good work done by the people. Though the method is bit expensive and requires lots of resources , can be sustained only if State govt funds the cause. At least some states have woken up now and started working in Green front.
It involves flexible hoses with minute holes which gets inflated when water flows into it, causing pressure and the water gets sprayed high to comparitvely large area. This wets not only the planted ground but also the leaves to an extent.But if mulch is put on these hoses the pressure tactic will not wok and water will just lay clogged in the nearby ground areas. Also the probability of these minute holes gettng blocked by dust particles/soil etc will be greater.
What? Can someone explain this to me? Why did they spent so much effort to remove 1m of top soil? I mean, the surrounding area looks like bit can support trees just fine? Also,by very fast, does it mean it will have exponential growth rate? Or they're trying to say that this is faster way to plant trees?
