Groasis Waterboxx: Growing trees in the desert is now possible

The Groasis Waterboxx was created by Dutch flower exporter, Pieter Hoff. The Groasis is a planting device that makes growing crops in the desert possible and resource-efficient. It consists of an "intelligent bucket" made from recycled paper, which can germinate seeds, incubate saplings, and water plants. It requires 90% less water than traditional growing methods and can be used in some of the most extreme climates on Earth.
