Four thousand neem tree seedlings planted in the second half of 2007 are looking beautiful after seven months without rain in 2008, as shown in this film. We only irrigated twice, with the help of a new tool, the armadillo nozzle, which easily drills holes to place the water at the appropriate depth. Fifteen hectares are planted in a triangular arrangement of 6m x 6m. By placing the water underground, we avoid the need for frequent irrigation and the waste of water through evaporation. We only have water from a small dam. The water consumption in seven months of drought was less than other methods would use per week. One man can handle 10 hectares. The investment is much smaller than the resources required for other types of irrigation. We made this film for those who want to see it to believe it.
