The Mojave Desert is characterized by its sandy, rocky terrain and receives an average annual rainfall of just 250 millimeters. To promote vegetation growth in this challenging environment, it’s crucial to modify both the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil, thereby enhancing its fertility.

One effective method for boosting soil fertility and water retention is to introduce a layer of topsoil, approximately 50 to 70 cm deep, that is rich in organic matter. Through precision engineering, the native desert soil can be converted into fertile ground suitable for planting and supporting robust plant growth.

Furthermore, the application of green manure can significantly benefit sandy soils. Not only does it reduce the risk of erosion, but it also enriches the soil with organic matter and essential nutrients.
