I guess I need to be more clear. (grin) They mimic the action of roots. I've only had mine in for about three months but signs indicate they are working as intended. They will break down over time, but by then they will have served their purpose. You only do this once.
It is an unusual cultural practice, but it works well in those situations that benefit from them. Like most cultural practices, there are variations on a theme. Just pounding a stick in the ground randomly likely will not be of much value.
