An Oasis in the Desert…
They say “A picture’s worth a thousand words.”
These pictures show the transformation of our arid desert yard into a lush green oasis in 6 years.
Our plants are clearly enjoying our structured water!
I took this pic in 2008, shortly after we moved in; and a few months prior to learning of NAT structured water. We had just planted our orchard of bare root fruit and nut trees, which were so small you can’t see them in the photo even though they are there.
This picture was taken in September 2014. Our rose bushes are massive, our orchard is in the background, and our septic area is between our house and the orchard so we keep it clear. The saguaro cactus in the background is so much taller and has put out many arms since 2008.
A closer look at our desert forest (same area as in pics above, same saguaro cactus etc).
The ponderosa pine tree on far right side of the pic above was just a little volunteer tree that had started growing in the driveway of our former home in Pagosa Springs, CO. You can see it is thriving even after moving to the Sonoran Desert from its home at 7,500 ft elevation in the Colorado Rockies.
This would look like a normal scene in a lot of places, but not so common in the Sonoran Desert The tree in the background middle/right was a tiny bare root apricot tree that we planted 6 years ago. It is now full grown and has produced LOTS of amazingly delicious sweet fruit.
Looking down a corridor in our orchard: (most trees started as small bare root trees 6 yrs ago.
In 6 years, our Saguaro Cactus has grown the equivalent of about 100 years in the wild, based on this chart…
Here’s our Saguaro when we first moved in…
…and after 6 years of structured water…
This palm tree was a tiny plant when we planted it 6 years ago…
The Moringa Tree behind us grew that tall from the roots in just a few months…
Organic Gardening
Structured water has blessed our organic gardens with food year round.
Here are a few structured veggies we harvested for dinner recently. (Peas, beans, peppers, carrots, tomatoes, okra, eggplant, aloe and moringa)
We also grow a few varieties of apples. People are often surprised to see that we can grow apples so easily in the desert.
We also grow apricots…
This started out as a tiny bare root tree in 2008, like the other trees you will see below. This picture was taken in the spring of 2015. There were thousands of apricots on this tree then.
Here’s a peach tree…
If you look closely, you will see that this tree is loaded down with green/yellow apples. This picture was taken in April. It blossomed and fruited again later in the same season.
Structured Pool and Jacuzzi
We also use structured water in our pool and jacuzzi…
Here is Tim lounging in our structured pool 🙂
(On the left side, you can see we are adding water through a large garden unit…)
A few more shots of us in the pool…
Here we are relaxing in our structured water Jacuzzi.
Tim changes the water about every 6 weeks. We haven’t needed to use any chemicals to keep it clean since putting the water structuring unit on it in around 2009.
As you can tell, it’s pretty amazing what Structured Water has done for us!
