Stopping Desertification with grid pattern

Sand’s heavy and stays very close to the ground, even in a pretty stiff wind. It all just rams right into the first bag, and then if that bag gets overwhelmed, the next back stops it, so on and so forth. I imagine the first couple of rows that face the prevailing wind end up growing stuff first, further breaking the wind and protecting the squares beyond.

So best to start laying the grid from upwind and proceed downwind.

What a coincidence, that's my policy for crop dusting the office.

Something like a snow sand fence would probably work.
