    Ashley is a soil scientist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
    At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
    Some of Ashley’s interests are RUclips, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s RUclips channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her RUclips channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.

    I have a hypothesis regarding one use of 14 gage pure copper wire, single strand. If we were to wire the mouths of the WEF members closed with a good single strand copper wire, world peace would grow at an exponential rate, with the recovery starting almost immediately. Of course it’s only a hypothesis and I am not advocating for any attempt at this experiment. One could probably get the same effect by simply stop listening to them at all.

    Well, I'm a plumber that loves gardening for over 50 years now. I have plenty of copper pipe, so I pushed a 20' stick of ¾" copper pipe a foot into the ground about 2 weeks before planting onions. I even soldered on some copper wires at the top flailing out in all directions. That Dutch farmer guy said the higher your antenna, the farther out at ground level it works. I can tell you it doesn't work on garden pest. Cutworms are sawing down several young onion plants every night and something else is chewing on my broccoli plants. What did I do wrong? Maybe it only works in Canada, but not in Georgia? Should I solder on a wire at the bottom of the pipe running north and south, or what? I like to try out anything that goes against the status quo. I guess I'll try the magnets in the ground with the wire running south to north next. I do not use chemicals in my garden and I switched to no till gardening 2 years ago. I use homemade JADAM natural insecticides and fertilizer only and I thought I'd test this electro-culture out. So far, I'm not impressed. But I'm gonna leave the antenna up because the neighbors think I'm even weirder than they did before... and that's a positive.

      Apparently there needs to be some type of carbon material (e.g. wood in this situation) inside the copper spiral, and the bottom end of the copper spiral needs to be grounded (stuck in the ground a foot or two).
      Theory:
      The spiral form incites an interaction between the copper wire and the ether (acting as an antenna), modulated by the wood, and ultimately grounding the ether energy into the soil.
      Both copper and carbon are diamagnetic, and it was this interaction between paramagnetism (granite in the past, aluminum and terra cotta in modern times) and diamagnetism (quartz in the past, copper and carbon in modern times) that increased the energy of the soil and subsequently the amount, size and quality of the produce.
      This also inherently had a beneficial impact on human physiology and psychology.
      This information has been lost (hidden) for centuries for the sake of profit.

    • @pammyrogers

      Keep it simple and cheap. A wooden stake coiled with copper OR aluminum works. Both are conducive. The stake needs to be deep enough for the root system and high enough near the tops of the plants. Point the wire at the top of the stake pointing up (antenna). I wind the coil clockwise as I was told. Don’t know if that matters though.

    i've only just started learning about this, but if it does work, the reason the world economic forum would want people to use this is because they are then dependent on electricity, and if you kill All the bugs, including benificial ones, they bad ones will probably be more likely to survive outside these farms. you could kill other microbial life. it ultimately could lead to more dependence on centralized power for food. And yes i know, this is all just wild speculation, but if someone wants they can use some logic to refute my logical assertion.. remember, control the food, control the people. the solution is grow food locally, with as little outside input as you can. that might include not using electricity... also if you increase nutrient uptake, wouldn't you just deplete the soil at a more rapid pace?

      I've recently been studying magnetic fields and coils and just seen this which makes sense as plants generate a current upwards so also a magnetic field, which would in theory induce a current in a coil near by in same orientation and winding pattern which would generate a magnetic field which would enhance plants own and generate more current as a result which we observe as growth of plant system. North pole ratio is near 1 while South Pole near Phi I learnt this morning so explains mixed results as south pole supports while north does opposite due to ratio in field at that end. Like nature, north is outward flow so starting point as 1, ending up closer to phi as it gets to the south pole. Testing this is next project.

    Hi...

Do I need to run a copper wire to electrically ground the planter to the ground for the antennas to work properly? Or is placing the antennas by themselves good enough ?

Also you said the more water we can get moving through the leaf, means more nutrient uptake. Does this mean that since more water is evaporating, the humidity is higher, therefore the plant is more inclined to open its stomata and hence transpiration- which results in more water uptake, and therefore more nutrient uptake? Thanks 💚

    Inducing dielectric fields. That's why it works. It does work. No special method required. Ground an antenna and voila .

    I wonder if we add Copper to the soil, plus the antennas, If that would improve the movement of the energy in the soil?

      Soil is an Insulator, and Current can't flow through soil.

      you can but copper is a natural mineral beneficial to life, while aluminum is toxic and can be leeched into the soil and crops

    If you could use solar panels in conjunction to power this it could be feasible. Some areas are too sunny so partial shading with solar panels and using the energy to power growth may allow a better balance and more prosperous growth. Fantastic bit of science though!

    I was wondering if you had heard of this topic and didnt realize you had covered it a while ago. Recently I've been hearing and seeing people puting copper wires and antennae in their soil to capture "cosmic" and "earth" energy...The world is going nuts or stupid or something.

      Yes, I put some stakes wrapped in copper next to my trees as well as in my garden.

    Saw one Video. She says this will just use up the fertility of the soil. You have to keep adding organic amendments to keep the soil from just turning into dead dirt.

    Air is positive charged ground is negative so the only time electroculture is nessasary is when in a house or plastic greenhouse. Outside in your yard in a rual area it's not needed also tall buildings like in a city the buildings become the ground so it's like growing under ground. Electric is the reason why plants know what is up and down ( turntable experiment )
