Recovery of degraded dry lands with soil pitting
Benefits of Soil Pitting. Recovery of degraded dry lands with soil pitting - Presented by David Bainbridge for Society for Ecological Restoration SER.
- Most cost effective treatment to help start recovery of abandoned, barren land.
- Pitting and mulch and seeds can work well but it still has to rain
- The pits capture rain runoff and increase water supply 2-4 times
- Smaller pits may be blown out by high winds, but large pits endure
Pits work by capturing water, fungi, litter, seeds. Safe site for seeds to germinate and provide some protection from sand blast.
Also helps erase off-road vehicle damage.
Can be done by hands, McLeods, shovels..
Soil pitting also useful for agriculture.
- Reduce crop failures
- Increase crop yield
In Africa known as zai. Zai pits increase water stored in the soil. In Ethiopia zai gave a 500% increase in potato yields.
Machine pitting essential for bigger areas. Kimseed Camel Pitter.
Here we used a custom made pitter disc. Has to be pulled by tractor.
Larger pits and difficult sites you need something like the Nardi Delfino Plow of Italy. Vallerani System is a contour plow, offsets pits.
Countour plowing is now done with GPS and/or lasers.
Vallerani System test in Jordan. Used to plant seedlings with the goal of forage for animals. Remarkable growth after 5 years on once barren slopes.
Abandoned farmland is a global challenge. Around 500 million acres or more. California alone due to water shortages may take 500-900000 acres out of production in San Joaquin Valley, causing severe dust storms and health issues like asthma. Soil pitting can make great contribution by bringing lad back into production and protecting biodiversity.
Challenge is to go big. Multiple tractors plows, many pits, adding mulch or compost and seeds.,
Even a 5-10 percent area of treatment can lead to recovery of more surrounding land. Multi-purpose plants that fix nitrogen, provide food, fodder, fuel or medicine can jumpstart recovery.
Large plants can become islands of fertility providing seeds, symbionts, and nutrients. Also can provide habitat for insects, birds, lizards, and other animals.
Key challenges is developing relationships and partnerships with communities.
The organization Hommes et terre provides contract pitting in many African countries.

    Dear Mr Bainbridge, If you used a Delfino plough with the ungulating pits, but didn't plant any seeds, would the area still self-regenerate itself? And would doughnuting in an area work? where you plough these pits then plant seeds in them and trees but leave some areas in the middle unseeded, would seeds blow from the planted areas and the trees into the bare areas?

    These stretches are magic! I triggered an old RSI injury by pushing myself to finish a task on my laptop and my hand, arm, shoulder and upper back seized up. It was so horrible it was a struggle to get out of bed. I couldn't even turn while sitting. The pain was so bad it was making me nauseous. I tried painkillers, yoga, massage pen... nothing worked. I got up in the middle of the night and tried these stretches. I was able to get to sleep and in the morning I was able to roll out of bed. I did the stretches on and off all day and I can feel the mobility coming back. Thank you! I got my life back!
