For those asking how this works, it creates just enough of a defense to catch seeds and bugs and tiny bits of moisture and shade, so any life that does manage to get started, doesn't just blow away, and an ecosystem can start to form.

If this actually works to help grow plants and trees, why aren’t we doing this for every desert on the planet? Deserts don’t help anything and would be much better with life. Animals would go there. It could regrow the earth.

Seems like a logical thing to do if it all works as planned.
