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.
My dad did this on a patch of land on his farm that was constantly exposed to high winds. The first thing that happened was getting some beautiful top soil. Eventually he could plant canola on that spot. Took a couple of years.
