Healthy Soil Stores Water Like a Sponge
Healthy soil stores water like a sponge with a root network – through fine capillaries, it releases it exactly where it is needed.
Drought, sealing and compaction make it lose precisely this ability.
The water runs off the surface instead of infiltrating.
The most important first step: near-natural forest conversion – multi-layered mixed forests and ground cover that reduce evaporation.
And where that alone is not enough, exactly the same principle can be used underground: JUMBO BLOCK® stores rainwater in the ground and slowly releases it to the root zone through natural capillary action.
Invisible, durable, with no ongoing energy costs.
Wicks the soil already knows.
