Spiral Island - 2002 - Part 3

The more I watch this man's videos, the more I develop an appreciation for the Mangroves that he talks about. It's *amazing* to see how a tree can grow AROUND existing materials. For this reason, I saw that Ritchie Sowa is a GENIUS to demonstrate how mangroves can grow around a foundation of wood and plastic bottles.

Page 2: Mangroves is a free material from nature that creates roots that hold the island together. Excellent solution to re-use materials. Love it.

What an amazing guy. That's such a cool idea! Thanks for that

@antroto454545 - YES he is, and I hope that more folks will be influenced to witness this form of GENIUS at work. I dare to say genius because of the way that the mangroves grow AROUND a combination of wood and plastic bottles. When plastic bottles are assembled the way that Ritchie demonstrates, they create a pocket of air on which a wood foundation can grow. I would like to try this out for myself for six months to a year to see what I can create.
