Saudi Desert to an Oasis in 3 Weeks

Saudi Desert to an Oasis in 3 Weeks

Yes, astonishing!! … from Barren Desert to a Green Oasis in 3 Weeks!!
At the invitation of the KSA Agricultural Minister, The Swift Grow team validated the efficacy of Swift Grow desert greening technology. The team flew over to an allocated Sa’ad National Park test side, 110km East of Riyadh, and in one week setup a drip irrigation system supplied by refillable bladder water tanks. Seeds were then hand sown on sand surface then Swift Life and then Swift Grow were applied …. and over the course of 3 weeks a green oasis gradually formed, attracting an ecosystem of wildlife.

The difference is Swift Grow colonising the sand and turning it into a vibrant living soil that retains moisture and feeds the growing plants!!

Zoom Right Into The 5 Week Old Sidr and Tallah Tree Seedlings

Typically takes up to 3 weeks to germinate, these native trees are 4cm tall seedlings in mere 5 weeks. About 1,000 tree seedlings in total were sown in this 1000 sqm test area, to show that Swift Grow can achieve near 100% germination rate and support the seedlings during their growth phase.

What Is The Next Step?

To be allocated a 10 hectares (100,000 sqm) site to scale up the Swift Grow method incorporating drones to do aerial seed sowing.
