I’m using electro culture this year ..used seven foot poles wrapped in 8 gauge copper with a antenna buried 6/8 inches in each five foot bed .. my plants which I started from seed are beautiful and healthy and strong thick stems, loaded with flowers and already producing vegetables. What I did notice after the last lighting storm they grew at least 4/5 inches .. much more than normal after a storm, it was amazing. So far no sign of disease but it is early in the season . I am really happy so far …

8 gauge costs too much and hard to work with. I used 12 gauge but added extra wraps.

I did an actual school science experiment back in 1964 on this (from an article in Popular Science) and won first prize. I used wooden dowels with a single loop of copper wire around the plant but not touching the plant. I used geraniums. Huge difference between the controls and those with the copper loops around them. I just bought Georges Lakhovsky's book, THE SECRET OF LIFE, that describes Lakhovsky working with Tesla way back when to investigate this phenomenon. This year my garden is just getting started and I will use this copper wire loop method on my tomatoes to see what happens. My wire loops do not go into the ground or touch the plant.

Sometimes put pie plate, tin cans, or other scrap metal they had at the end. The copper didn't go into the ground. The reason they give is they were trying to simulale how lightning storms release nitrogen into the air. At smaller but constant paste.

Very interesting video, thank you 🙏. Just one thing : Leaf mulch and copper wire/antennae do not in any way do the same thing. An organic/permaculture gardener can and should use both to get the very best results. We too had a horrendous 60-day drought last year yet I've never had such a gorgeous crop of tomatoes in my life. Instead of leaf mulch, we use one-year-old wood chippings, at least 3 - 5 cms thick on everything we've planted. We've even found that you can plant, for example, carrot, lettuce and beetroot seeds and they'll burst their way up through the wood chippings and grow strong and tough. Young fruit trees get at least 10cm of wood chips to retain the moisture and add minerals into the soil. Thank you for putting your experiences on tape! 🙏👍

Mark, I have to respectfully differ on the comments about these conducting shock/lightning. These are absolutely safe at this small scale. Humans are the larger target for conducting lightning. Lightning & static were part of my field of expertise for years in the electronics and Airport Lighting business. Lightning follows a path of ACCUMULATED static. Like shuffling your feet on a wool carpet raises the static in your body. Then touching someone or other ground allows the accumulated static to travel, creating the shock/escaping energy. - A small lightning strike...😏 If the energy cannot instantly escape to the ground it will travel a path of conduction (barbed wire fence) until it finds a ground. Ground rods and wires instantly/constantly conduct static energy into the ground and do not allow it to accumulate. This is why you see spikes and wires mounted to the tops of buildings, roller coasters, etc. and attached to grounded rods. As static in the area begins to build the spikes/wires provide constant/immediate conduction to the ground and it cannot accumulate. With no accumulation of static - The lightning then follows a different path with higher build-up of static. Since DC travels on the outside of a wire - The only way these can fail to instantly conduct is if the soil is too dry or corrosion has coated the surface. Like when you lose current access at your car battery from corrosion. I did wonder if growth is improved because of the constant reduction of static close to the plants. Maybe the static was causing problems prior to installation? Looking forward to the continued experiments -KJ

​@@iamorganicgardening Good questions Mark. Short answers - Sky to ground - I don't know about the nitrogen - Not only copper. Lightning is the release of energy. As cool air moves in quickly on warm air it creates static friction. Like rubbing clothes in winter warms them quickly and creates static on you and your clothing. The static builds and needs a path to ground. "Lightning arrestors" on a building is a misnomer. The rods don't arrest lightning. "Static preventers" would be more accurate but probably doesn't sell as well. They prevent static from building and lightning will follow another path that has static to ground. Any wire that conducts electricity will conduct static immediately. Copper is best but steel and aluminum work. The key is to have good surface area to collect static and solid ground for it to transfer. Moist soil conducts better than dry.

Best to use above ground gardens. Weed and feed will kill vegetables just as weeds. Then add organic matter. Use smaller gage 12-16 copper wires and twist two or three together. This creates fractals in creating enhanced frequencies. More the twist the more the frequencies. Wrap this around a wood post. Wood acts as an insulator and stabilizes the frequencies. Place the post through the raised bed into the ground below. Wood post should be determined by the depth of your bed. As for clockwise or counter, just look at how plants vine upwards in your area. Nature has already figured it out.

Don’t confuse soil minerals with magnetic induced electrical currents; they are fundamentally different issues entirely. Yes, a certain amount of copper in the soil is needed by plants. Too much and copper is toxic. Drive a copper nail into a tree and the tree will die. The benefit of Electroculture is that it does several things. The induced current apparently speeds up the plant growth process and seems to make the plants more robust. How much? It’s not very much scientific data to say precisely and there are so many different approaches and techniques and there certainly are NO tested standards to use. So success seems to be a bit of trial and error. The other benefit seems to be that the energy fields repels pests in particular slugs and snails that do not like copper strips and copper with current is even more repellent. I’ve seen significantly bigger and healthier plants with bigger yields with fewer pests (in a high rainfall area with a heavy slug pressure). It does seem that electroculture gets better results if you have great soil and it won’t overcome the limitations of poor or depleted soil. I went very heavy on huge amounts of organic compost, gypsum, Azonite, greensand, mycorrhiza, etc. the weeds went crazy too 😂.

The first year I grew a patty pan summer squash 9’ across and 4-1/2’ high with a 6” wide main stem. It was a monster! Massively productive plant. Year two, the patty pan squash was 1/3 the size….

And the amount of copper shed by the coil is miniscule. Coils MUST be in moist soil for them to work properly. They (coil) also should be at least 3 feet above the soil with a wire grounding it. 23 feet is recommended. I do not recommend wrapping any tree with copper wire. Lightning attractor.

Lightning comes from the source of static accumulation. The strike is from cloud to ground. What you SEE is the release of energy AFTER the strike. That is visible from the ground up AFTER a positive ground contact has been made. The only way for lightning to strike up is from an energy source strong enough to create the surge. Like a high tension tower. Soil disperses energy to safe levels - or we'd be killed every time we touch it.

I'm curious if it affects, boosts?, CEC (cation exchange capacity) which affects plant uptake of nutrients and water.

I wish I knew. Sorry. But it does increase water uptake only... Organic nutrients are only available to the plant roots if the microbes eat something and poop it out. Electro culture does not do that or helps in any way.

Interesting. Late last summer, I leaned an old rusty metal grid against a ceder fence on a bed of raspberry plants. Two of the plants happened to be mostly under the grid. I pruned all back last fall. Early April this year, while all other were barely budding, the two under the grid already sent out long branches and are full of leaves. I was wondering what could make the difference. After watching this video, I am thinking if it could be the metal grid. The grid touches the soil, but no part of it is in the soil. While it has zigzag pattern, it does not have spirals. It is definitely not copper. It is more like iron because of the reddish-brown rust. Maybe someone can lay an old bare metal boxspring on a planting bed and tell us if it makes a difference.

You need a coax cable to make the antenna work. What you are doing is essentially completing a circuit. You are bringing a special electrical light to the roots. Think of a tree above ground now picture the same below ground but roots instead of branches. The roots require a type of dielectric light. This is what the copper in the coax cable does.

Positive thoughts bring positive results 😉✌️

Can someone clarify if you wrap the coil of wire clockwise starting from the ground up or from the top down?

I have mixed results so far. I have 4 Tomatillo's next to each other 1 has a Locosky circuit, 1 with a shorter standard coil and two 3 foot coils wrapped around acrylic tubing. the 2 plants with the 3 foot coils are 12"taller and loaded with blooms. I have other very tall assorted antennas but can not tell if they are doing any good or not, but there is no side by side like the Tomatillos.

See my post - get an analog and cheap digital volt meter that reads in the millivolt range.

If there was anything to this method, there would be several meta studies about it in the scientific literature and all commercial growers would be doing it.

Hi! copper kills pathogens through direct contact. The antennas have little contact with the ground. Another way to kill pathogens is by leaving contaminated water inside copper containers for several hours, which does not happen in the case of antennas. I believe that electroculture does not destroy microorganisms in the earth. Hope this helps

According to chat gpt ;) The patina may reduce a bit the conductivity, but not significantly enough to make a negative difference.

When i heard this , it made sense. The copper coil should be clockwise in the northern hemisphere . like water going down the drain . Recieve or transmit. Does this make sense. It seems to me that more groweth comes out quicker from the bottom as it grows out , then later up .

Copper is a contact or surface bacteriacidal/fungicidal toxin, so wouldn't the microbial and fungicidal effects of copper only affect those microbes/spores that come into direct contact with it? What I'm saying is that this effect does not radiate out into the soil, just affects those that come into direct contact with the surface of the metal. And aren't it's bacteriacidal/fungicidal effects nullified when the metal surface is wet? Isn't it most active when it's dry???? I would love to hear more about this from someone who knows more about this effect in copper. How about brass or aluminum - do these metals work as well in the garden?

@iamorganicgardening

Hello, answer to your first question. Is Yes, contact kills offs the microbes. But now we are adding also volts and magnetic fields which radiate out. Must be looked into more about this? Wet or dry makes no difference in the contact area. They contain water themselves. Here is a sample from google that is copied and paste for you . Is copper self-disinfecting? But before you restock your disinfectant arsenal, check out your hardware: While aluminum and stainless steel in particular are hotbeds for germs, studies show that brass, copper, and silver have self-sterilizing powers.

However dowse your front door and back door to your tree. That’s how you will place your ends. After they did this their tree produced fruit. This was back in the 80s or early 90s. This isn’t anything new. It works if you do it right.

Copper is diamagnetic and when exposed to the earths magnetic field it creates opposite field. It is an oscillation circuit. The copper is also standing in the electrostatic field of earth. This field increases by 100 volts per meter above the earth. It is not snake oil there is plenty of research to back it up going back more than 150 years.

Here you go people. Look up Viktor Schauberger . May help the doubters out there.

I suspect that the electroculture phenomenon has more to it than increasing water transfer and instead has to do with physics that we're not privy to. More "woo" than most people would accept. Telleric energy, ether. I might be mistaken but I think the coil you show next to the tomato plant is coiled in the wrong direction for the Northern Hemisphere. My garden includes antenna this year since I had plenty of copper wire laying around for art projects and it's going great guns, but that might have something to do with the wood-chips being three years old and coming into their own with all of the beneficial fungi and bacteria that go along with a healthy soil.

Does the coil vs straight rod make a difference?

So you are stating that placing copper in the soil stops microbial activity radiating outward from the soils contact point with the copper? I'm not grasping that concept of physics as easily as the electrostatic properties discussed.

Is that anticlockwise?

Why are we never satisfied and often think we can improve nature by adding something unnatural! There are too many variables going on around us in nature for us to get high and mighty with it. Artificial chemicals, sprays and fertilizers also work on plants but proved to be detrimental to our enviroment and nutritonly poor for our health! Don't think this idea's for me!

Very interesting. I have made an "antenna" and put it in an ailing garden. I am in a heavy 5G zone and they are dumping all kinds of weather control chemicals. The ground voltage is elevated and lots of people are sick and tired. Plant do not grow well. I think that people are misinterpreting how electroculture works. I believe it is actually more related to earthing, which has wonderful pain relieving and anti-inflammatory effects on humans. But you have to know how to do it right or it is ineffective or even harmful. For one thing to start, the rod shown in the video is a steel rod with a copper coating. Another thing I would point out is that there is a metal fence. Another I would point out is that we are inundated with satellite and ground towers, harmful RF/MW radiation that adversly effects plants at a cellular level and increases their need for water. But Mother Earth can heal and protect. I think the copper is providing a path to ground for harmful energy and resonating the earth's vibrational energies. Anyway, that is what you want it to do, but you have to set it up right. If the harmful energies are too overloaded, it can backfire, basically cooking the plant from the ground up. One suggestion would be to bury the grounding rod and attach the end of the copper coil to it. You should actually work with a volt meter. You generally want to see the voltage run through the metal to ground and not the plant, but it can be more complicated than that. Work with volt meters that can read milliVolts. An analog meter will read electron flow and a cheap digital meter will read electron flow and "capacitance" , commonly regarded as "ghost" voltage. These are other energies that need to go to ground, through the metal and not through the plant. The red positive and black negative lead are indicative of the current flow which is the opposite of the electron flow. If you put the red probe on the plant and the black in the ground and the reading is positive, current is flowing from the plant to the ground and electrons/energy is flowing from the ground to the plant. My guess is that the plant would have a small flow of electrons to the plant. Most of the voltage should be going to the earth from the antenna. If it is not, bury the antenna deeper or put it on a buried grounding rod. Now , I could be wrong about this, so you should see what works for your plant. Vary the voltage by the depth of the antenna. Let us know what you find out.
