My grandfather mentioned something about electricity and the garden 30+ years ago. He told me to use wire in the garden any chance I got. The static charge in the air would help the plants grow. It's nothing new under the sun. Does it work or not? What I live by is, "if it doesn't hurt then it's worth a try." Besides, we all run off electricity. The Divine 'spark' is what kicked off the first heart beat! 👍🇺🇸
When I told my mom about electro culture using copper. She said her grandfather, my great grandfather, used copper wire and pennies (this was back when pennies were 90% copper) in his garden/orchard. My grandma agreed and said she remembers it too. It would make their trees in orchard grow faster and yield more fruit. 🤷🏻♀️
Thats because instead of having a wire running to the tree as an antenna, the tree took up copper through the roots in nanoparticle form and BECAME the antenna.
I tried it with passion fruit seeds. I have that I didn't put a wire in and another that I did. The one with the wire germinated all the seeds and the seedlings are super green. Now I'm not saying that it works but.....😊
I put copper antennas in this year and have been amazed by results. One of my ever-bearing strawberry plants has 45 buds on it, the one next to it has 30. We would usually get about 8 on each at a time. My potted apple and pear tree both have blossomed really well this year and waiting to see how the fruit develops. A lilac tree this year has the best ever flowering. A climbing rose is putting out lots of extra shoots this year. Fertilizer has been used as in years before, but this time maybe the combination with electroculture has been the key.
Agree. I put one antenna in one bucket with my potatoes. Three Others none. The one with antenna is 10 times large. And it happened after a storm. Same diet. Same seed potatoes. Planted at same time.
@@zbeast3113 the antenna near the strawberries with lots on is 10mm copper pipe. It goes about 200mm into the ground and is about 1300mm above ground. I made a loop on the top of the antenna which is about 200mm diameter. It is all one piece of pipe, had it left over from fitting a radiator. The loop on the top is parallel to the ground. The antenna near the lilac is just 10mm stick with copper wire wrapped around. It is about 1000mm above ground and about 200mm below. The potted apple and pear trees have similar to the lilac. It appears the higher the antenna, the better the results. I assume soil conductivity is important too.
This winter i purchased 2 tomato plants same variety as close to same size as i could. Put each in a pot. 1 had a copper wire coil the other no wire placed the pots so they would get same amount of sun and water. The one with the wire was larger and produced more tomatoes. That was my result this past winter zone 9b
It works, i have done it and can see. I find it amazing people will yak yak and not be open to trying something so cheap and easy. A lot of what Tesla was working on was related. And he dealt with nah sayers as well.
Could you provide one or two examples of “it works”? I’m interested in learning about new methods of gardening whatever they may be. What positive or negative differences have your veggies experienced ? What increases in quality or weight have you noticed? Thanks!
My brother was going on about Electroculture some 15years ago not having a closed mind (like some hint hint) I thought I would put it to the test. I was thinking I would prove it was a load of crap. Never did still trying 15yrs later. Everything always grew better. I had a fruit tree that never did that well not in the best zone for it but wow did it bounced back from the dead. Put it to the test for yourself people and do not expect much from those little TikTok sticks do it right. You never stop learning with gardening I have been gardening longer than this guy has been alive and still learn new things all the time with a open mind.
Exactly. He can't say it doesn't work if he hasn't done the experiment. The scientific community is saying it does work but they don't have the reason why. Anything over a certain MC voltage will deter growth and that's the reason why the experiment he talked about didn't work. Put your mouth where the bull has been seeding your garden brother.
agreed, for someone to say something does not work they really need to try it themselves instead of citing papers from online that say it does not work as you can easily find many more scientific papers that prove it does work.
Probably 15 years or so ago I read about something similar. I planted six super fantastic tomato plants and had 5 foot tall cages over him so what I read was you take copper wire and tied to the top of the cage so I tied it in a crisscross pattern on top and then I hung nylon stockings tied off of the wire down inside the cage all I know is when the plant started producing I would pick 2 1/2 5 gallon buckets of tomatoes from those six plants practically every day that’s my story and I’m sticking to it
Yess me too! I've been doing as well and my plants all perked up. It DOES work. Try it for yourself before dismissing it because this man said so.! And like he said several times, he's not even tried it nor does he plan to simply because HE thinks it is bunch of bull. Try it and notice the results.
I hope this presenter comes across more information that he doesn’t shut out. He says words like ether, prana, just abstracts. We know that’s 7 true so I hope he learns for his sake before he puts out more negative info. After all, he would only have to search the net to find countless success stories of this
I did my research, I stuck a piece of copper coiled wire in the ground and my plants went crazy. My tomatoes, squash and peppers were the darkest green I ever seen and some started blooming the next day. Checked the coil with a digital multimeter and was getting 220mv DC between the copper coil and soil from 2' away. It doesn't take a PHD to conduct that experiment .
So how do you know that the copper wire is responsible? Unless you can explain why the copper wire supposedly made your plants go crazy, the experiment is nothing but anecdotal. Does the soil require some level of fertility for the copper wire to work? Or will it work in new gardens with minimal fertility?
@@LazyDogFarm High school science class taught that the scientific process was observation, theorization then experimentation. Seems to me he has met the first step toward doing and actual experiment. Not dismissing it out of hand.
@@LazyDogFarm The reason it works was already explained but you said yourself it wasn't true because ether isn't real. It's funny an adult would wait for mainstream science to admit and explain something is beneficial for us. As if mainstream science is on the side the majority the people under it's dominion.
My fruit tree was almost taken over by aphids (and ants). I wrapped copper tubing around a wooden dowel with copper sticking out into the air and into the soil. I did nothing else. Within 2 days, there was no sign of aphids. You may want to research further before dismissing.
That might have been due to the copper itself. If there is enough acidity in the should to dissolve mini amts of copper and it getting absorbed by the tree, the aphids left. Same thing w an animal. Copper deficient animals are more loaded w parasites. I use Hungarian paprika in my supplements as it is a copper bioflavonoid.
heard about it recently and tried it out on jalapeno plants, just simple copper and zinc coils, 9 turns each. the plants with coils dont lean on the support stick at all, stem is almost 2 times thicker and they have already grown alot more new stems from sides. as much i respect science i feel i really dont need an exact explanation of what this does- if it works its not stupid. ❤
I mean seriously. Why are u making a video on what u know nothing about. And why can’t you comprehend the simple basis on which this process is based upon.
"I'm going to talk about a topic I know nothing about and I'm not going to do any kind of experiment because I believe it doesn't work." THAT is the most unscientific thing I've heard since hearing about voodoo magic.
Wait a sec hes not doing an experiment because there is no scientific information? But experiments are how you find all the scientific information.?! Im confused 🫤
This guy is doing something called a meta analysis on the studies. It’s not being lazy, he is sifting through the already completed studies and using hard evidence to make a conclusion. Not to be rude, but really, what time are you putting to find research articles that prove otherwise? Or have you conducted an experiment to prove this? It’s easy to want him to do an experiment, but it’s EXPENSIVE and TIME CONSUMING
Don’t know if it works or not, but they doubted Nikolai Tesla too didn’t they, when he claimed he could harness power from the atmosphere. He was right!!! I’m satisfied this has some similar science behind it.
By the end of May my garden was so pitiful. Insects had chewed or tookover everything. Diseases were creeping in.. I was about to just give it up, it was that bad. So with nothing else to lose I placed 1 copper coils each on the south side of my 6 garden beds with the tips pointing north. And within 3 days the health of my plants started to turn around. Plus I had to plant new seeds with a 100% germination rate! Even my corn germinated within 2 days. Its 4ft tall right now. Ive never grown corn before. Lol But by the first week, the difference was truly astounding! I havent had to use fertilizer, pest control, nothing but rain water. My garden beds are bursting at the seams. Im in 7b Chattanooga Valley.. hot muggy humid. Ive been harvesting green beans, peppers, cukes, zucchini and tomatoes for almost 2 weeks now. First time ever at this time of year for me. So while all the people who never tried may scoff.. scoff away! 😂 Bless yalls hearts. Im having the best garden season that Ive had in 25 years. 🎉
@@brendaray8226 what does that have to do with anything? You sound like the people who pushed the Vax. The doc knows best, they are very smart and wants everyone to succeed. Do your own research.
The links I sent you have a CLEAR proof how and that it works. I took my ideas from them. I try uploading in my RUclips channel... Here is my 1st attempt of a RUclips Short: ruclips.net/user/shortsZfELk8qB1W4?feature=share
Yes. I totally agree. However, I’m using the copper wire antenna approach because I have a small area. My results thus far have been amazing! I grow flowers mainly. Some are flowering bulbs and some are annuals in containers and in ground. My bulbs are extraordinary. They are taller and healthier than last year. I have an allium that is taller than my husband who is 6ft 1in. Time will tell my overall results as I just started this practice this spring. I would like to reiterate to the content creator of this channel that there is so much information that we have been denied. Why not attempt to use this practice, that is low cost and totally organic, before dismissing its claims. ❤️💕🙏
The guy who invented the electric systems we use to this day said that the eather exists. He also called it radiant enegry and had patents to collect it and was building a tower in NY in the early 1900s i believe it was called wardencleff. He believed that there was a a massive enough of energy all around us. Our education system is not even looking at it and as a matter of fact say its impossible. But i have put up a copper antenna cause im curious. Air is 80 % nitrogen so if this antenna puts 1% for plants to use then its worth it. Please try it and do a video. My cucumber at the copper wire is doing the best. Also the tomato near a copper wire antenna is doing the best out of all my tomatoes. Could be a coincidence. Do a trial and see if there is a correlation. Tesla was pretty smart, maybe this could help.
@@waynespringer501 travis is gonna test it out and let us know. I say you don't know till you try it. Maybe it's doing something to the microbes or fungi in the soil. Endless possibilities that we cant even measure. It's not electricity as we understand it. But others have expressed similar findings. One guy built a gadget that used radiant energy to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen in a way that he could run a small car on water in the 80s. Bedini was another guy who stumbled on it while building amplifiers. I wish I knew more so in 6 months I hope to see a video involving a big copper wire on the lazy dog farm.
I can come up with an idea of why some seem to think the electric wire system works, but it's just a thesis. Worms make poop and the plants love the worm poop. They even sell it in bags at the stores as Worm Castings. A LOT of Gardners use this to feed their plants every year and the plants seem to do great. Some folks like to spend a LOT of money burying Boxes known as Compost bins between their plants in raised beds and throw garden scrapes in this to feed the worms in which the worms leave behind their poop to feed the plants. My Thesis: Is that in past experience and science classes, and also older folks used to use electrical current in the ground to get worms to raise to the surface (Kind of the same method for certain nutrients when the soil heats up and the moisture rises to the surface) , in part the worms leave their poop eventually and thus feeding the plants near by. NOT saying that it's fool proof or that it's a winner winner chicken dinner, but it seems that if you could control where the electrical current was being used, you are bound to accumulate more worm activity in that general location. Which in turn would help the plants, not hurt them. But refusing to do any experiment yourself seems like it's just a way of saying, "Since the research I've done seems to out weight the other, there's no reason for me to even TRY". And there goes why I hate watching certain Gardners (Not Farmers) on RUclips trying to Teach others how best to plant or grow certain things. EVEN my elder father before he passed away that growed up on a Farm and made their living Farming, could have told you that Experimenting is what Gardnening was all about. If you find something that works, stick with it. BUT NEVER be affraid to try something new. Just my Two Cents...Take it for what it is.
I never heard of electroculture until a couple weeks ago. Danny over at Deep South Homestead set out several plants that were pretty much the same age and size. He did side-by-side experiments. He was much less witchcrafty than the people you cited, though he did do the big brother thing,, and he practices standard farming techniques. He also does not apply any electricity to the antennae. If I understood correctly, his claim is that all life runs with frequencies and the antenna focuses some ambient frequencies to the plants. I have to say there was a noticeable difference between the plants with antennae and those without. I was impressed enough to consider trying it on one or two plants.
As a fllow-up, I set out a little peach tree. It was growing great until shortly after I set it out. It sat almost dormant for a couple months. I stuck a coil in the ground beside it and it began to grow almost immediately. In just over a week, it has grown about eight inches. Maybe the plant was in shock, maybe the fertilizer was slow to become available. I don't know. I just know that in this one instance, it appears to work.
My mother put an antenna at each corner of her garden and then connected them her plants were huge she didn't have any problem with bugs the produce was larger than any of our neighbors... I'm 74 my mother was raised in orphanage that she learned to garden in the orphanage they had to grow their all their own food... This is during the depression... There was a time when everyone used this method in their farms
@@Bruce_Wayne35 Bruce, can you do another video and show us some different ways such as you described? This is such an exciting topic : ) Last year I placed my antenna near some of my plant and ran a copper wire throughout the garden where there was no antenna near other plants -- just a thin wire. My plants did really well. No potato bugs for sure. Thanks for your comment.
@@Wheelman1966 He knows it works, maybe not 100 % on every crop, but he would lose revenue on people not having to come view his channel for advice. He is being dishonest with his viewers because it says right in the description for his channel he is always trying new techniques. But yet he won't do electroculture despite many of his viewers asking for it. I personally wouldn't trust him now if he did do it. I found a few good resources and I will be trying it.
I was on a committee for undergrad research (I am not into bio or ag, but just a member of the science community), and an undergrad did a small experiment around this at Alabama A&M a few years ago. There were no statistically significant results. Some outliers made you scratch your head though. However, it was a very small study. Btw, crops look better after a thunderstorm because lightning breaks down nitrogen gases and adds them to the soil via the rain ---- also all the extra water makes things pop, this has been researched and quantitatively measured. My guess is that if electroculture does work, it does so like the simulated lighting in the thunderstorm results. That means the electricity is distributing nitrogen and allowing it to be absorbed by the soil. However, there is going to need something like rain or dew as a transfer medium and the voltage would have to be very high. As for positive and negative ions in the ground, I have no clue. All I know from years of electrical engineering is that ground is neutral and dissipates charge almost instantly.
My understanding is that it takes a powerful charge of electricity, such as lightening, to break the strong bonds of the nitrogen molecule in the atmosphere. Once split the nitrogen molecules bind with oxygen and form nitrogen dioxide, which dissolved in water forms nitric acid. The estimates I've read is that it can apply 1-50 pounds of nitrogen per acre. It's not unusual for a farmer to apply over 100 pounds a year. Soil microorganisms fixate much more nitrogen. In order to smash the nitrogen molecule as lightening does it would require a powerful charge because a typical lightening bolt creates about 300 million volts. LOL
Some people would use "nitrogen fixators" around the plants they want to give more nitrogen to, e.g, clover leaves, then when done, work them back into the ground!
I guess the charge from the Earth works just like a fruit battery where the anode & cathodes are both in the same fruit but yields current to run the clock ! Tik tok lol 😆
I too was skeptical . However I had the wire the sticks and the time. So I tried it. I haven’t noticed much of a change on my fruit trees. I did notice a respectable difference on the vegetable plants. Keep your eye out for some inexpensive copper wire. Then set up your own experiment.
There is also a similar philosophy for humans which is called grounding. Walking with your bare feet, or using a grounding wire with a wrist/ankle grounding strap while around the house. No idea about it. I have used strips of copper around 50' of raised beds to keep the snails and slugs out. From an electrical point of view, that is one of the reasons that people promote using Methylene Blue for brain fog, and many other things. The Methylene Blue is actually used by doctors in hospitals for carbon monoxide poisoning and other things.
The earth has a net negative charge n when you walk barefoot, electrons move into your body from the earth.. electron are needed for reduction of free radicals and for reducing oxidation stress. Oxidation is loss of electrons. Reduction is gain of electrons.
@@marysurbanchickengarden Look for rolls of (I think it is) 4" copper specifically made for snails and slugs. The copper creates an electrical charge when their wet bodies try to go over it. You also bend out one side as it creates a sharp edge they also have to go over. The tough part is you have to clean it occasionally. It also comes with copper tacks to attach it to wood. I haven't used it since the mid-90s.
@@marysurbanchickengarden if you look a snail n slug bait its often iron. Apparently if you increase iron content if your plants snail n slugs leave it alone.
I can say that I worked for a tree service and one of the things we did was trim for the power company. It did seem the trees around the lines grew very fast, not saying its electroculture, I'm sure it's that new growth off the trimmed end just grows faster. More likely is the fact that seemed that way to us because it was never ending, there's a lot of trees around power lines in rural MS!
Trees, and any edge area grows faster. Trimming induces growth and they're is generally more exposure to sunlight. That's why edge habits are often encouraged for adding wildlife value to a property.
I agree with you but just in case I have two gardens one with it and one without it. Over the next three years we'll see if it's bull crap or if it's real. I have nothing to lose.
Sticker in there and try it. I've been doing it for two years and it works. You can laugh at me if you want to I don't give a d. Do your experiment and by the end of the season you'll see. That smart a attitude will change pretty fast.
@@joelhenderson5404 All do respect, “been doing it for two years”, doesn’t answer the question. What are the differences in your plants you’ve experienced that has you using the method for two years?? -Change in height? -Change in harvest weight? -Health of plant ? If you had to have open heart surgery and you interviewed a surgeon, would you decide to use that surgeon if you asked “why should I have you operate? and the doctor said, “I’ve been doing it for two years” with no other information? More information allows for better decisions.
Supposedly there was scientific data long ago that went missing. I do believe it would work in helping plants grow better, going to try a few this summer to test the theory out but I will be using fertilizers as usual.
I'm sure mixing a few different methods can do wonders and miracles for growths, so why not? Example, soil maybe almost depleted of nutrition, so, fertilise it, why not? Water it differently too, some things grow more with drip feeds over longer time as a pose to just flooding the water all at once and maybe diluting away the nutrients in the soil? Some need acidity in soil, some alkanity in it etc etc! Permaculture works well too! Use combination with tests and trial and see what works best for you, nothing wrong in that approach now is there? Be happy and do it with plenty of love and patience i say !! Good luck 👍
You just have to love that both sides seem to have a preconceived answer. A true scientific experiment needs to be open to either result and set up appropriate testing which would likely incorporate a base experiment that does not include the testing example. Having said that, I do not intend to put copper wires in my garden.
All I know is that I see you practicing it all the time, and your dang plants look really nice... especially those you plant on those cattle panels, tied to T-Posts driven down in the ground... I think you are just trying to fool us all, while you practice the secret art of electroculture... just saying! Lately you have been upping your game, planting them in big metal cans... and those plants look really really nice... who knows what else you will be doing right in front of our face, and pretend it has nothing to do with anything! We are on to you! Never trust a Dog!
I was hoping to learn something watching this video. Instead I found someone who didn't try anything but had lots of opinions about it. Silly. I heard about electroculture, made a few coils and stuck them in some plants. I will know more at the harvest end of this season. At least I tried it.
Try sticking a lollipop in the ground beside your plants while you're at it. That way when the next fad comes along -- "candy-culture" -- you'll be way ahead of the curve and you can at least say you've tried it.
If you really want to debunk it then y'all have to test it. Y'all can read all you want but until you try it then you can say with the evidence it's a myth or hey maybe there's something to this. I'll give anything a try then I have the evidence to say it's b.s. or not.
I believe there is a little truth to everything but since I started gardening barefoot with a copper bracelet on both wrists with a penny in my mouth wearing a tinfoil hat while carrying around a bucket of fertilizer with holes in it, my plants look 10 times better. I beginning to think it’s the penny. 😉
😂 ; I come from a multi generational farming and gardening family...I think" you all do you"...I will not be spending money to buy the little coils of copper wire .
Last year I did electraculture on half my fields and not on the other field . I had afids and I put a 14 inch pole with copper and afids were all gone by morning . I had people stop by from out of town to see it and couldn't belive it . Ill do it as long as Im growing a garden . And im not a conspiracy theorist either. Im sold on it . I never used i drop of food and no fertilizer . Do more resurch its worth it . Thats my opinion for what its worth .
Talking about big onions. I harvested my onion Wednesday the 26 of April. Put them in my greenhouse to let the tops and roots dry. Today I am going to get them ready to store and get a harvest weight. Total # grown was 49. Will commit on weight later today.
Hey Lazy Dog Farms! I laughed at my wife when she told me what she was doing with my copper wire. I said, "Go ahead with your witchcraft and voodoo, baby. Whatever makes you happy." However, the side of the garden that has the "Sprit Sticks" as I called them, are much healthier and putting out twice the yield. I can't explain it either. My background is in environmental science, and we never discussed any of this either. However, the cucumbers are delicious! Keep up the good work guys!
Thank you! I love finding a counter argument to some thing that I’m interested in and believe so that I can hear the full gist of what the supporters and non-supporters say this was very helpful
In 2007 - 08 Florida went through a year drought, no hurricanes or tropical storms even thern. I experimented with something called orgone and created a resin type device with copper pipes, better known as a Cloud Buster. After installing this device in my yard for about a week or so a clouds began to appear around the area here and a rain that was so light it float like feathers and continued raining that way for 48+ hours. Then a heavier rain fell, like regualr rain does, for the next few days which evolved into Amazon rain, very heavy down pour, for the next few days. IF the Amazon rain would of came first then much of our area, in central Florida, would have flooded because the ground was so dry from the long drought. That extremely light rain that first came really helped to gently soak the ground enough to handle more heavier rain. Later I constructed a much larger size orgone device, which I call the Sky Cleaner and since then, 2008 - 09, there have been very few hurricanes, tornados and other devestating storms to hit our area. Before 2008 we use to get hit by severe lightning, winds, tornados and etc. every year since the early 1970's. The few but very strange and powerful storms (Fay was on of them) that made it to being near us, had caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damages to the surrounding counties and further out. As Fay was on her way to Florida I constructed a long range orgone device made with five 10 ft. tall 1/2 metal pipes and orgone matrix poured into 3/4 of those pipes. As Hurricane Fay came hit south Florida I kept my orgone devices pointed at her and she began moving in a "zig zag northern pattern" from east to west comming up through the middle of Florida. I must of repositioned my orgone devices over 20 times in order to keep them pointed towards Fay, until she moved on to Melbourne Florida and stayed there for 4-5 days flooding the area severely and then slowly moved north and tried to go back toward central Florida. In the end, Fay did a 3/4 circle around us and moved on northward.
Do you reckon rain can be produced by this method as our country is getting hardly any...it used to be green and wet like Ireland in the northern hemisphere up to 20 years ago. They used cloud seeding on the west coast of our island but stopped a while ago as it drenched that side and the east side got none.
Hi Travis, the video from Deep South Homestead today showed a lot of results that the electroculture has produced. Having seen that i have become quite confused and would your take on their video.
Yes, I saw that video too. That's why I ordered some copper wire to test it myself. Will it work? I don't know that's why Iam trying it. If it doesn't work, I'm out 10 bucks.
Yeah, and Danny isn’t saying copper is some magic unicorn that makes it so you don’t need fertilizer. He STILL uses fertilizer. The copper is just a supplement, the same way people use fertilizer AND worm castings AND fish emulsion. It’s just another tool.
The fact that you can't find anything on the 'we control all information' world-wide web doesn't mean that it isn't worth doing. As a matter of fact, the mere fact that you can't find anything tells me that there might be something to this. Just sayin....
Travis never said it wasn’t worth doing..he said it wasn’t worth HIS time. The mainstream media might have a controlled message, but social media and “the net”’is a different story. Look at all the misinformation spread during the pandemic. When you were young you received a polio vaccine, your folks didn’t have the web to go to and no one questioned the information. It might just be, because you can’t find information on it, because there isn’t any?
Deep South Homestead just showed results where they used copper coiled wire directly in the soil vs a plant without it. It did help the plant but I’m not positive this is a revolutionary thing here
What they didn't show you is them putting that wire next to their largest plant right before filming the video to show it works. Correlation does not equal causation.
Constant current I don't know. But the experiments im familiar with they simulated a lightning strike with metal rods pushed into the earth around the plants. One strike and left alone. The plants were well into their first true leaves and I think they were just testing for yield increases. Seemed legit with some encouraging results
While we are on subject about lightning, let me kindly add a note that, we have been lied to and misguided about the modern "earthing rods" on top of buildings! The used to be "Aether energy collection antennas" about a century plus ago, where the rods collected Aether energy, went down into the building where they had electrical devices connected up which ran on it on DC current! The electriacal industry has been turned upside down, just so they can give us AC current "electricity on meters" so they can mint money forever !! Hence we need equipment that also runs on AC current and old devices destroyed to hide away the knowledge from us! That tech is about to make the biggest come back in history !
I haven't seen it myself, but as I understand it, the WHO has a report on China doing serious green house projects on this technique. According them, fertilizer use went down 20% and production up one third.
I had my copper wire arrive today. Will make my first antenna and see what happens. I am still very sceptical about this. However two things bother me.. 1. The number of people saying it works. 2. I bought a water softener that works by magnets and a small electric charge surrounding the pipe. The water passes through the centre of this gadget. As it does it disrupts the molecules in the water seperating the salt from the water. Long term if you store this water the molecules with unite again. But it is beneficial to plants..not all but some. So here I go. Im not giving up making and adding compost and worm tea. Its worked very well so far. Hopefully this is a plus.
I think it may be an interesting science project, but I'm too lazy. I'm pretty sure some scientist/horticulturalist/biologist will eventually do a proper study. Meanwhile I will just sit back and watch and make my own observations. But you make a very valid point. I, it just so happens, am also college educated and if I didn't learn anything I learned not to state something as truth without having some solid evidence to back it. And I taught myself to question everything. No blindly following just because the other person is educated (just making sure its clear that not every educated person thinks they are above the uneducated, will only believe those who are educated, and can't listen to anyone else). Not downing anyone who believes electroculture. You want to do it, go right ahead, I won't criticize you, but I will be observing first. It will be interesting to watch.
Thank you my friend. There is so much misinformation based on the "I wish" principal eh? As in " I wish this would work so... Abracadabra!" I'll take sound science every time. Keep up the excellent work and thank you for sharing you knowledge ❤
I stuck two copper pipes into the ground by my runner beans. Nothing to lose by doing such. My crop of runner beans have been larger in length and the plants have been pest free. It could all be circumstantial but these are my findings this year.
I have to start off by saying how much I appreciate the format, and the way you presented your stance. It's refreshing to see someone cite sources and have their own reservations from their point of view! I personally am also on the fence about the principals electroculture, but have a few ideas on how this could be actually possible. From what i understand the atmosphere always carries a charge that increases as you move further north or south of the equator, as well as increasing as altitude increases as well (making the antenna effectively being the path of least resistance to ground). But that is never above 5v, so the experiment with 6-12 or 24 volts is questionable to me. If I had to guess id say that since nitrogen is a positive charge, the low voltage and current can help to absorb nitrogen into the soil. Once again I have no for sure opinion, just trying to wrap my head around it hahaha. Never the less, appreciate the video sir!
Whether or not this works: I love that he mentions Isaac Newton having something to say about this because he was literally an alchemist. The man was a scientist, but was also trying to create the philosopher's stone.
IIRC Newton is also reported to have pushed a needle behind his eyeball, to see what happened. I doubt that Newton would have dismissed this theory as easily as Travis has.
i dont know much about that stuff. but ive seen some wild findings using some strong magnets around plants. some good videos on it here as well, many experiments.
Yes, there have been research papers on the use of copper wire for soil electrification. This technique, also known as soil electroporation, involves the application of electric currents to the soil to enhance various processes such as soil remediation, plant root growth, and nutrient uptake. Here are a few examples of research papers related to this topic: 1. Title: "Soil Electroporation: A Critical Review of Basic Principles, Current Applications, and Future Prospects" Authors: Li, J., Niu, Y., Chen, Y., Qi, H., & Zhang, X. Published: Frontiers in Plant Science (2019) 2. Title: "Electrokinetic Remediation of Contaminated Soils Using Copper Electrodes: Effect of Soil Matric Permeability" Authors: Shu, L., Ye, Z., & Wu, J. Published: Water, Air, & Soil Pollution (2007) 3. Title: "Influence of Electrical and Environmental Factors on Soil Electroporation for Enhancing Plant Uptake of Organic Pollutants" Authors: Teng, Y., Wang, T., Lee, D. Y., & Luo, Y. Published: Environmental Science & Technology (2013) These papers provide insights into the principles, techniques, and applications of soil electrification using copper wire and offer a good starting point to explore the topic further.
If it costs you $10.00 to get a wooden dowel and pure 12 guage copper to wind around it with a couple of inches of pure uncoated copper sticking into the dirt below the dowel and making a bit of a coil on top ending with a point above the dowel on the top, then do it. Stop wasting your time on videos and do one pot with it and 1 without . Done. Oh by the way, it works.
For the same $10 is 125 Tomato Seeds from MiGardeer, even with 80% gemination you are going to have EXPONETIALLY greater yields growing 100 more tomato plants than wasting time and energy on this gimmick.
He says there is no predicate for an experiment. Then, he gives ideas of what is in the soil that could be responding to the electricity. It sorta sounds like there is a reason for an experiment. 😊
Okay.. so... Thank you for presenting an intelligent and well reasoned argument about this. As someone who likes to tinker with gardening and also electronics and, in particular radio, I think this whole movement is better off in the compost pile... Because it's BS. Yes, a wire, straight or coiled, is resonant at a specific electromagnetic (RF) frequency... That's EXACTLY what antennas are. However, antennas require a balance. That balance is either an equal (electrically) length of wire on the opposite side, as in a dipole, or ground (as a vertical would be.) Sticking a wire, coiled or not, into the ground, simply makes that wire a ground. It is NOT an antenna at that point... At most, it's half of one.
… the suggestion about using a chop stick for indoor plants for the antenna was referring to using the chop stick for the base to wrap the copper wire around … he/she assumed it was understood what was meant …
Despite various publications of results where hand-washing reduced mortality to below 2%, Semmelweis's observations conflicted with the established scientific and medical opinions of the time and his ideas were rejected by the medical community. He could offer no theoretical explanation for his findings of reduced mortality due to hand-washing, and some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands and mocked him for it. In 1865, the increasingly outspoken Semmelweis allegedly suffered a nervous breakdown and was committed to an asylum by his colleagues. In the asylum he was beaten by the guards. He died 14 days later from a gangrenous wound on his right hand that may have been caused by the beating. His findings earned widespread acceptance only years after his death, when Louis Pasteur confirmed the germ theory, giving Semmelweis' observations a theoretical explanation, and Joseph Lister, acting on Pasteur's research, practised and operated using hygienic methods, with great success.
Within the first minute he says he's not interested, thinks it's silly, and won't do a side by side comparison because he can't research it well enough. How are you meant to test anything with that attitude? This is someone who doesn't believe in it so won't try it and that's his proof, not much proof for me if I'm honest 🤷♂️ also the lightening strikes DO cause healthier plants due to higher nitrogen in the atmosphere after strikes. For someone who's all science you're very dismissive of theories and unwilling to try them so not really helpful
You can't properly test something if you don't have some type of basis for how it works. There's no way to account for confounding variables if you don't know what you're testing. If someone can tell me how the plant physiologically responds to the copper wire, then we have room for experimentation.
@@LazyDogFarm ofcourse you can! Test it the same way as everything else. Make a prediction, see if it works. If it works, find variables. Slowly eliminate variables until you have a control. Rehypothesise and go again. Just because we don't understand it's machanism of action yet, doesn't mean we can't see a difference in results. Then once we see a difference we can narrow down variables and find said mechanism of action :) either they'll be better, worse, or exactly the same, all of which are worth testing in my opinion
Yup my degree is Animal husbandry with a minor in wildlife science from the best SEC school, as in LSU 😂🤣😂 Georgia is okay too 😂🤣. With a whole lot of biology and botany I say this is just great good ole fashion fertilizer as in fecal matter from the male bovine species 😂🤣 ! For your viewers that don’t know what in the world I’m talking about, that would be Bullsh** ! So I gave this a valid effort ! I planted four tomatoes of the same variety in the same row but with a good distance between them. I dressed two with organic fertilizer while the other two I drove to stakes one a two feet and one at four feet, wrapped both with the same gauge romex wire. They were planted the same day at the same depth in late February. The two with the fertilizer have baseball sized maters on them and the other ones did fine up until mid March and I assume after using what good minerals in the dirt all up, they just looked like hungry plants. On April 10, I gave up and put the bull fecal matter, bone mill and, calcium nitrate to them, and they put their firs matters on this week ! If I could tell anyone that is thinking about doing this, is to just recycle your copper wire it will pay off way more than using it as an antenna in your soil ! I think wher I screwed up is I didn’t plug it in my electrical outlet 😂🤣😂 I’ll wait til it starts raining to try that one !! 😂🤣 Geaux Tigers !!! Love your channel man ! Keep helping all of those people that believe everything that people tell them on you tube as to how to garden ! Like put an egg and a fish in the hole that you’re planting your maters in ! 😂🤣 Peee-u
Well, let me start if by saying that I know that I don’t know what works better. I literally just stripped some copper wire, have my wooden dowels and am ready to try electro culture because I do fall into conspiracy theories a lot and figured I would give it a try. But you do make some valid points. So now I don’t know lol. But when you said something about things growing better along the power lines it caught my attention. I have a fenced in 2 acre parcel, and the fence does not provide privacy. There is a driveway on one side to somebody else’s house and a main road on one side. The previous owner planted some kind of bushes along both of those sides to provide privacy, the main road side, which runs along right underneath the powerlines, is no joke 4 to 5 times bigger than the side that runs along the driveway. Doesn’t prove anything, could be a soil density thing.
My dad gardens about 50’ from a major overhead power line. Everything grows 25-30% faster at his place. I even did a test planting last year of beans and tomatoes. He had mature plants weeks before I did, and I did everything right. There was nothing wrong with my timing either, it was exactly as my seed packets said. But daddy’s plants were producing fruit faster. By about two-three weeks. I can’t explain it. He’s made some sort of deal with the devil.
If you can prove there are no other variables promoting faster plant in his garden like weather, microclimates, insect pressure, disease pressure, soil biology, soil structure, soil nutrients, fertilizing, plant spacing, varieties and watering, then there might be something to it.
I was on a dolphin cruise years ago and no one was seeing dolphins. Someone yelled “there’s one” and everyone ran to that side of the boat. I went to the side that was empty and yelled “there’s one” and everyone raced to that side of the boat. So I moved to the other empty side of the boat and did it again. Everyone piled to that side. I never saw a dolphin, it was just for fun!
Watch and like you both. Everything I have found suggests copper isn't good for plants, soil, or people. Copper could have some benefits with its reaction with sulfur 🤷♂️. Total speculation on my part.
@@jlail1976 If copper is literally found in the earth and used in so many things you use.... how is it bad for plants, soil or people???? If it is bad then plants and people should be dead by now :)
I have an espaliered apple tree that was developing and open wound in several places on the trunk. I was upset about it because it took years to get the tree growing so what did I have to lose by trying a copper wire experiment? I stuck a stick in the ground with a hole at the top and threaded a length of copper wire through the hole horizontally. I created an open ended circle and this wire floated around the trunk of the tree. Since then the wound on the tree has been closing up instead of opening further and I am thrilled. I would rather spend the time testing an in expensive solution to a problem rather than call the solution silly and never having tested it at all.
I did add my cats litter to my okra several years ago. Only on one side, and that side was a much darker green with very huge okra. It was a huge difference. That side of my garden smelled really bad but It was a great fertilizer.
I am 63. Gardening most of my life. Putting coils in my pots has made a difference. Also, detered slugs. My potatoes were huge and my strawberries were were bigger, healthier, and sweeter. I have added to every single bed. Make your own and try it.
I'm so glad you made this video, Mr. Travis. I just started hearing about this, and before I started the deep dive, you did the research for me. Now I don't have to figure out how the heck I'm going to try to afford a crap-ton of copper wire for my garden. Instead, if I happen across a piece somewhere, I might put an "antenna" next to one plant and not another where I have two of the same plant in one bed, just for funzies (I do like to experiment). Thank you! And thank you for being so funny - I got a good laugh!
Don’t let this video discourage you. Try one or two 6 foot sticks wrapped in a little bit of copper it’ll cost you $5 to $7. Travis didn’t even try & just dismissed the idea because it goes against his belief system. Within one week of putting a 6 foot bamboo wrapped in copper next to my lychee tree sprouted new growth on every branch. It’s been sickly and non-bearing for two years.
@@knottymom88 I see your point. People aren’t doing enough of their own research these days. I think part of what you missed, and what was inferred, is that I don’t have much money. In fact, I don’t have an income right now because my folks are needing a great deal of my time. Everything I do is for them. I live in a tiny world of dementia, hypertension, diabetes, and incontinence. When your plate is full because you’re the caregiver of people who need constant supervision, and your rare spare time is eaten up with researching their needs and the one pleasure you take is learning how to garden, the simple delight of having someone present you with an answer that you didn’t have to spend hours or days searching out yourself is a MIGHTY HEFTY BLESSING. I’m interested in the idea of electroculture and wouldn’t have watched the video otherwise, and I could absolutely use the help with growing bigger produce, but I’m not about to drop however much it would cost me (with no financial return) on something with anecdotal evidence, at best. I wish you luck in your endeavors to point out everyone else’s flaws. God bless.
I thought that’s kinda nuts , but I tried it just to give it a try , no harm no foul , so I had a old grounding rod with about 3 foot of wire attached, I made it into a crude antenna and stuck the grounding rod into the soil about a foot deep between 4 tomato plants planted in 4x4 square. Well the plants where loaded and grew 6 1/2 tall , it did seem to help considering I didn’t water much
Been watching you, Travis, (fer) a while. I am 71 alive. Been Gardening for 50? In my Garden Myths was tie nylon hose to your plants for the static electricity to do what you said. Please do what you do the Best Garden. And Teach. Wish I was there. 11:28
All you said was that it works but they don't know why. You also said that the 6v and 12v treated garlic grew slower..this says that the electric current does affect plant growth. People in the regenerative agriculture field who believe that you can attain a level of soil health where you don't need to do anything but put the seed in the ground will shake their finger at you. Elaine Ingram who makes boss compost and then uses just the microbes frim the compost to grow disease and pest resistant food would shake her finger at you.
@@SgtSnausages to affect it negatively is to affect it. Maybe the voltage for positive growth is different that 6 or 12. Also it seems that..the original idea was the jsut give the atmosphere and soil a conductor to do their stuff naturally. Not to apply a fix voltage
Good stuff Travis 😂. Even if it did work I would rather turn my compost than try to run wire through the garden. I think it's finally gonna turn spring up here in southwest Missouri 👍
I thought the premise was that it was atmospheric electricity affecting the plants, but the experiments you referenced used stored energy in the form of batteries of various voltages to pulse and “shock” the plants. This is not a reasonable test of the theory.
I'm wondering how you would hoe the weeds with all that wire in the garden. Shucks my family has been gardening for hundreds of years, if only they had known about the copper wire they wouldn't have had to sweat so much 😂 and spend money on the triple 13 they always used. I've learned a few things my dad and grandpa didn't know about organic gardening but knowing them they would have stuck to what they knew, it worked for them. Travis why not do the experiment and put this baby to bed if it's nonsense. I was shocked to see Danny and Wanda buying into this, but I also heard him say " up the nitrogen when the onions start bulbing" so I don't know why I was shocked. Danny hasn't been gardening as long as I have and I know there are things I don't know or forgot.
Perhaps the pH of the soil interacting w/ the copper stuck into the soil is simply fixing a copper deficiency in the soil (Cu is a micronutrient some fertilizers will include; I believe Cu helps w/ cell membrane or cell wall strength/elasticity.) & "structuring" (their term) the water by stirring/swirling it 7 or 8 times in 1 direction & then the other is merely aerating it. I know pouring stored water back & forth a few times between containers is recommended to improve its flavor by aerating & is a trick people know in emergency preparedness circles. Those were two of the points I remember thinking as I've been looking into some of these electroculture videos. I'm both curious & skeptical, & admit I ordered 2 coiled "antennae" to experiment w/, to make sure they are made in a way (coiled clockwise from the bottom up in the Northern hemisphere) that they claim is supposed to work. Now, another point: do they remove oxidation, or do something to prevent oxidation? All the pics I've been seeing show shiney copper, but that won't last forever...
Well just on an off note, in humans and animals, it's scientifically tried, tested and proven and logged, that deficiency of copper and selenium causes them to die of aneurisms ( like hardened heart walls and main nerves to and from it ) ! So, supplementing with the copper and selenium and them healthier! A Dr. Joel Wallach, also spoke majorly on this too !
Well I've been gardening for 50 some years, and this past spring when I started hearing about Electra culture I decided to try it out! Let me just tell it works, I grew plants that I have never been able to grow before, I grew so much it was amazing! You should do an experiment instead of trying to debunk something you haven't tried, jezz! You work for the government or something? You have to wrap the copper a certain way depending what hemisphere your in! Try it before you knock it! I guess I must be one of those conspiracy theorists! Have you read your comments, seems like a lot of people are trying it! And finding that it really works! Happy gardening! ❤ 😂😂
They OBSERVED that it worked. Kind of like watering one plant and not watering the other during a drought. Guess what? The plant that doesn't get water might die. And they saw that over and over and over. With electroculture, you will have to prove that it is making a significant difference, an observable difference. Over and over again.
You could run an experiment for $5 or less, less than 5 minutes to setup. That amount of energy investment to run an experiment is essentially nothing. Even if there is a 1% chance of the growth 30-50%+ claims being true, it would be worth running the
I have an MBA and have worked for several fortune 500 companies so I understand a little bit of how they work. In my humble opinion, if there was any truth to this nonsense big agriculture would be all over this because with no fertilizer cost, no pesticide cost, reduced labor to apply, and reduced fuel cost big agriculture could make more money than they already do!! They wouldn't try to hide they would get a patent and exploit it!! Just sayin...
With great respect to you Travis, I don’t know if you’re wrong or right. You were naming these energies that people claim are around us. I do believe there are energies around us. Mostly Yahweh. I read quite a bit of the comments and if someone is wanting to try this experiment, it should be done in ground and not a man made current of electricity. I think to be done correctly would call for an earth ground copper stake, like what you would have for an electric pole. You would also need to have high copper poles around the perimeter that is connected to the ground source and possibly the plants. The magnetic field created around the perimeter is what I believe is what helps. I don’t know. Sounds like an experiment I can’t afford. I do believe there is so much we really don’t know when it comes to harnessing the energy around us. I proudly wear my tinfoil hat. Been laughed at for over half my life. Problem is the stuff I’ve been saying for half my life is happening. What I do know is you’re successful and so am I because of it. Thanks for sharing
I consistently harvest my veggies 2-3 weeks before my brother does. Maybe that is because I have the neighborhood's power lines running over my garden. Then again, maybe it is because he lives in South Carolina and I live in Florida.
Well Travis, my dad always planted by moon phases. Our ancient people did likewise. If the powers that be think that co2 is the problem, they are wrong. Were also in a Grand solar minimum.
My grandfather mentioned something about electricity and the garden 30+ years ago. He told me to use wire in the garden any chance I got. The static charge in the air would help the plants grow. It's nothing new under the sun. Does it work or not? What I live by is, "if it doesn't hurt then it's worth a try." Besides, we all run off electricity. The Divine 'spark' is what kicked off the first heart beat! 👍🇺🇸
Amen!
Right on. Cant find the data, make the data Home grown.
we better not forget what our parents and grand parents taught us.
I agree!
Heh heh heh. Yep.😊
When I told my mom about electro culture using copper. She said her grandfather, my great grandfather, used copper wire and pennies (this was back when pennies were 90% copper) in his garden/orchard. My grandma agreed and said she remembers it too. It would make their trees in orchard grow faster and yield more fruit. 🤷🏻♀️
I still use the pennies and I know for a fact it works! All from experience of watching it with my own eyes myself in real time every day.
Thats because instead of having a wire running to the tree as an antenna, the tree took up copper through the roots in nanoparticle form and BECAME the antenna.
I tried it with passion fruit seeds. I have that I didn't put a wire in and another that I did. The one with the wire germinated all the seeds and the seedlings are super green. Now I'm not saying that it works but.....😊
It definitely works.
@@drawthelinearts5784 Just plant with pennies?
I put copper antennas in this year and have been amazed by results. One of my ever-bearing strawberry plants has 45 buds on it, the one next to it has 30. We would usually get about 8 on each at a time.
My potted apple and pear tree both have blossomed really well this year and waiting to see how the fruit develops.
A lilac tree this year has the best ever flowering.
A climbing rose is putting out lots of extra shoots this year.
Fertilizer has been used as in years before, but this time maybe the combination with electroculture has been the key.
Agree. I put one antenna in one bucket with my potatoes. Three
Others none. The one with antenna is 10 times large. And it happened after a storm. Same diet. Same seed potatoes. Planted at same time.
@@beverlymichael5830 I've started some potatoes in containers and have put antennas in each. Hopefully have the same results as you.
@@wantingtolearn2732 after one storm the difference is amazing. The first day after it was noticeably bigger but keeps outgrowing the others still.
@@beverlymichael5830 👍
@@zbeast3113 the antenna near the strawberries with lots on is 10mm copper pipe. It goes about 200mm into the ground and is about 1300mm above ground. I made a loop on the top of the antenna which is about 200mm diameter. It is all one piece of pipe, had it left over from fitting a radiator. The loop on the top is parallel to the ground.
The antenna near the lilac is just 10mm stick with copper wire wrapped around. It is about 1000mm above ground and about 200mm below.
The potted apple and pear trees have similar to the lilac.
It appears the higher the antenna, the better the results. I assume soil conductivity is important too.
This winter i purchased 2 tomato plants same variety as close to same size as i could. Put each in a pot. 1 had a copper wire coil the other no wire placed the pots so they would get same amount of sun and water. The one with the wire was larger and produced more tomatoes. That was my result this past winter zone 9b
Maybe the copper itself and not electricity caused a change to the soil. Copper is a micro nutrient needed by living things.
@@baneverything5580 Don't know I watered the same, same bag of soil, same fertilizer and same kind of pots.
It works, i have done it and can see. I find it amazing people will yak yak and not be open to trying something so cheap and easy. A lot of what Tesla was working on was related. And he dealt with nah sayers as well.
@Scott O they're not ready
Could you provide one or two examples of “it works”? I’m interested in learning about new methods of gardening whatever they may be.
What positive or negative differences have your veggies experienced ?
What increases in quality or weight have you noticed?
Thanks!
My brother was going on about Electroculture some 15years ago not having a closed mind (like some hint hint) I thought I would put it to the test. I was thinking I would prove it was a load of crap. Never did still trying 15yrs later.
Everything always grew better. I had a fruit tree that never did that well not in the best zone for it but wow did it bounced back from the dead.
Put it to the test for yourself people and do not expect much from those little TikTok sticks do it right.
You never stop learning with gardening I have been gardening longer than this guy has been alive and still learn new things all the time with a open mind.
Amen
Yup
Funny the bandwagon getting full. Lol
Well said, tictok sticks. Definitely more to it than a stick of wire.
I understand where you are coming from, however, it would have been nice to see you do an experiment. You have the perfect platform for it.
Exactly. He can't say it doesn't work if he hasn't done the experiment. The scientific community is saying it does work but they don't have the reason why. Anything over a certain MC voltage will deter growth and that's the reason why the experiment he talked about didn't work. Put your mouth where the bull has been seeding your garden brother.
agreed, for someone to say something does not work they really need to try it themselves instead of citing papers from online that say it does not work as you can easily find many more scientific papers that prove it does work.
Probably 15 years or so ago I read about something similar. I planted six super fantastic tomato plants and had 5 foot tall cages over him so what I read was you take copper wire and tied to the top of the cage so I tied it in a crisscross pattern on top and then I hung nylon stockings tied off of the wire down inside the cage all I know is when the plant started producing I would pick 2 1/2 5 gallon buckets of tomatoes from those six plants practically every day that’s my story and I’m sticking to it
I just started trying this myself and had great results with a sickly fruit tree and in one week had new growth on every branch!
thanks for sharing your experience, I would like to try it myself, I hope I can get such results
Yess me too! I've been doing as well and my plants all perked up. It DOES work. Try it for yourself before dismissing it because this man said so.! And like he said several times, he's not even tried it nor does he plan to simply because HE thinks it is bunch of bull. Try it and notice the results.
@@brandonvaughn8118 Your words encourage me to do so, I know I got to do it. It seems unreal but got to try it without a doubt.
I hope this presenter comes across more information that he doesn’t shut out. He says words like ether, prana, just abstracts. We know that’s 7 true so I hope he learns for his sake before he puts out more negative info. After all, he would only have to search the net to find countless success stories of this
I did my research, I stuck a piece of copper coiled wire in the ground and my plants went crazy. My tomatoes, squash and peppers were the darkest green I ever seen and some started blooming the next day. Checked the coil with a digital multimeter and was getting 220mv DC between the copper coil and soil from 2' away. It doesn't take a PHD to conduct that experiment .
So how do you know that the copper wire is responsible? Unless you can explain why the copper wire supposedly made your plants go crazy, the experiment is nothing but anecdotal. Does the soil require some level of fertility for the copper wire to work? Or will it work in new gardens with minimal fertility?
@@LazyDogFarm High school science class taught that the scientific process was observation, theorization then experimentation. Seems to me he has met the first step toward doing and actual experiment. Not dismissing it out of hand.
@@LazyDogFarm The reason it works was already explained but you said yourself it wasn't true because ether isn't real. It's funny an adult would wait for mainstream science to admit and explain something is beneficial for us. As if mainstream science is on the side the majority the people under it's dominion.
@@anthonysoldo4040 WELL SAID!
I wonder if it could deter those stinkin' snail b@*##@*'s.
My fruit tree was almost taken over by aphids (and ants). I wrapped copper tubing around a wooden dowel with copper sticking out into the air and into the soil. I did nothing else. Within 2 days, there was no sign of aphids. You may want to research further before dismissing.
That might have been due to the copper itself.
If there is enough acidity in the should to dissolve mini amts of copper and it getting absorbed by the tree, the aphids left.
Same thing w an animal.
Copper deficient animals are more loaded w parasites.
I use Hungarian paprika in my supplements as it is a copper bioflavonoid.
yea, copper metal ions can be poisonous... but also to the plants, so be careful.
heard about it recently and tried it out on jalapeno plants, just simple copper and zinc coils, 9 turns each. the plants with coils dont lean on the support stick at all, stem is almost 2 times thicker and they have already grown alot more new stems from sides. as much i respect science i feel i really dont need an exact explanation of what this does- if it works its not stupid. ❤
I mean seriously. Why are u making a video on what u know nothing about. And why can’t you comprehend the simple basis on which this process is based upon.
One week in and IAm convinced that you are wrong friend,My plants have jumped 6" in 5Days.Never seen that in my 40yrs of Growing.
copper + ZInc coil in the same pot = 1v of constant energy
"I'm going to talk about a topic I know nothing about and I'm not going to do any kind of experiment because I believe it doesn't work." THAT is the most unscientific thing I've heard since hearing about voodoo magic.

Wait a sec hes not doing an experiment because there is no scientific information? But experiments are how you find all the scientific information.?! Im confused 🫤
Absolutely hilarious that this guy didn't, and won't, do his own experiment on it, but has the nerve to 'debunk' it.
He is jabbed 4 sure.
Pretty pathetic when he debunks something without even doing an experiment. I can't trust a guy like that.
He will not spend 2 minutes to try it, yet he will spend an hours making and editing a video to bash it. I'd say the content is bias.
Perhaps he is scared of a result that contradicts his education and the scientific view he is comfortable with.
This guy is doing something called a meta analysis on the studies. It’s not being lazy, he is sifting through the already completed studies and using hard evidence to make a conclusion. Not to be rude, but really, what time are you putting to find research articles that prove otherwise? Or have you conducted an experiment to prove this? It’s easy to want him to do an experiment, but it’s EXPENSIVE and TIME CONSUMING
Don’t know if it works or not, but they doubted Nikolai Tesla too didn’t they, when he claimed he could harness power from the atmosphere. He was right!!! I’m satisfied this has some similar science behind it.
By the end of May my garden was so pitiful. Insects had chewed or tookover everything. Diseases were creeping in.. I was about to just give it up, it was that bad. So with nothing else to lose I placed 1 copper coils each on the south side of my 6 garden beds with the tips pointing north. And within 3 days the health of my plants started to turn around. Plus I had to plant new seeds with a 100% germination rate! Even my corn germinated within 2 days. Its 4ft tall right now. Ive never grown corn before. Lol But by the first week, the difference was truly astounding! I havent had to use fertilizer, pest control, nothing but rain water. My garden beds are bursting at the seams. Im in 7b Chattanooga Valley.. hot muggy humid. Ive been harvesting green beans, peppers, cukes, zucchini and tomatoes for almost 2 weeks now. First time ever at this time of year for me. So while all the people who never tried may scoff.. scoff away! 😂 Bless yalls hearts. Im having the best garden season that Ive had in 25 years. 🎉

Not saying it works or not but I remember what happend last time we "trusted the science"
Lmao
Does trusting the science mean using more petroleum based fertilizers?
Now it's trust the biology 😮
Well,,, We dident.
They were literally mocking us with the phrase “trust the science”, because “trusting” is opposite of the scientific method!
Don’t knock it until you try it. IT wORKS. I’ve compared my plants and it is amazing.
Yes. I totally agree. However, I’m using the copper wire antenna approach because I have a small area. My results thus far have been amazing! I grow flowers mainly. Some are flowering bulbs and some are annuals in containers and in ground. My bulbs are extraordinary. They are taller and healthier than last year. I have an allium that is taller than my husband who is 6ft 1in. Time will tell my overall results as I just started this practice this spring. I would like to reiterate to the content creator of this channel that there is so much information that we have been denied. Why not attempt to use this practice, that is low cost and totally organic, before dismissing its claims. ❤️💕🙏
Maybe if his chickens pooped copper wire, he'd try it.
Gardening with copper implements has had some amazing impact.

The guy who invented the electric systems we use to this day said that the eather exists. He also called it radiant enegry and had patents to collect it and was building a tower in NY in the early 1900s i believe it was called wardencleff. He believed that there was a a massive enough of energy all around us. Our education system is not even looking at it and as a matter of fact say its impossible. But i have put up a copper antenna cause im curious. Air is 80 % nitrogen so if this antenna puts 1% for plants to use then its worth it. Please try it and do a video. My cucumber at the copper wire is doing the best. Also the tomato near a copper wire antenna is doing the best out of all my tomatoes. Could be a coincidence. Do a trial and see if there is a correlation. Tesla was pretty smart, maybe this could help.
How exactly is a solid piece of metal supposed to "intake" nitrogen?
Not everything Tesla believed has been correct! There’s more than one reason for not following his every word!
@@waynespringer501 travis is gonna test it out and let us know. I say you don't know till you try it. Maybe it's doing something to the microbes or fungi in the soil. Endless possibilities that we cant even measure. It's not electricity as we understand it. But others have expressed similar findings. One guy built a gadget that used radiant energy to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen in a way that he could run a small car on water in the 80s. Bedini was another guy who stumbled on it while building amplifiers. I wish I knew more so in 6 months I hope to see a video involving a big copper wire on the lazy dog farm.
I thought he said he wasn’t wasting his time with electro-culture??
@@catofthecastle1681 Nor any reason to just discount everything out of hand, without trying it.
I can come up with an idea of why some seem to think the electric wire system works, but it's just a thesis. Worms make poop and the plants love the worm poop. They even sell it in bags at the stores as Worm Castings. A LOT of Gardners use this to feed their plants every year and the plants seem to do great. Some folks like to spend a LOT of money burying Boxes known as Compost bins between their plants in raised beds and throw garden scrapes in this to feed the worms in which the worms leave behind their poop to feed the plants.
My Thesis: Is that in past experience and science classes, and also older folks used to use electrical current in the ground to get worms to raise to the surface (Kind of the same method for certain nutrients when the soil heats up and the moisture rises to the surface) , in part the worms leave their poop eventually and thus feeding the plants near by. NOT saying that it's fool proof or that it's a winner winner chicken dinner, but it seems that if you could control where the electrical current was being used, you are bound to accumulate more worm activity in that general location. Which in turn would help the plants, not hurt them.
But refusing to do any experiment yourself seems like it's just a way of saying, "Since the research I've done seems to out weight the other, there's no reason for me to even TRY". And there goes why I hate watching certain Gardners (Not Farmers) on RUclips trying to Teach others how best to plant or grow certain things. EVEN my elder father before he passed away that growed up on a Farm and made their living Farming, could have told you that Experimenting is what Gardnening was all about. If you find something that works, stick with it. BUT NEVER be affraid to try something new.
Just my Two Cents...Take it for what it is.
Kinda like the concept of “Fiddling Worms” ???
@tater357 So why don't you do an experiment and report back ?
@@Angela_Alaimo I plan on it.
Great to see someone with simple common sense. Something hard to find these days. Thank you Sir🕊🥂
Very well said.I fully agree.
I never heard of electroculture until a couple weeks ago. Danny over at Deep South Homestead set out several plants that were pretty much the same age and size. He did side-by-side experiments. He was much less witchcrafty than the people you cited, though he did do the big brother thing,, and he practices standard farming techniques. He also does not apply any electricity to the antennae. If I understood correctly, his claim is that all life runs with frequencies and the antenna focuses some ambient frequencies to the plants. I have to say there was a noticeable difference between the plants with antennae and those without. I was impressed enough to consider trying it on one or two plants.
That fellow is well out there anyway. I wouldn't be surprised he's shooting miracle grow to those plants to try and be right.
But he doesn't say if they prefer Hip Hop, Rock, or Country Frequencies???
@matt douglas which fellow?
As a fllow-up, I set out a little peach tree. It was growing great until shortly after I set it out. It sat almost dormant for a couple months. I stuck a coil in the ground beside it and it began to grow almost immediately. In just over a week, it has grown about eight inches. Maybe the plant was in shock, maybe the fertilizer was slow to become available. I don't know. I just know that in this one instance, it appears to work.
@@billybass6419 Maybe the aliens came to visit from the antenna signal, and they sprayed their magic plant dust!
My mother put an antenna at each corner of her garden and then connected them her plants were huge she didn't have any problem with bugs the produce was larger than any of our neighbors... I'm 74 my mother was raised in orphanage that she learned to garden in the orphanage they had to grow their all their own food... This is during the depression... There was a time when everyone used this method in their farms
Can you tell me what your grandmother connected the plants with? What did she run from the copper to the plants? Thanks!

@@sundrop3911 As will I. Ever since I made my own earth battery I've been wanting to try this. Life is a constant learning experience.
@@Wheelman1966 Good for you, at least we aren't closed minded.
I was on a committee for undergrad research (I am not into bio or ag, but just a member of the science community), and an undergrad did a small experiment around this at Alabama A&M a few years ago. There were no statistically significant results. Some outliers made you scratch your head though. However, it was a very small study. Btw, crops look better after a thunderstorm because lightning breaks down nitrogen gases and adds them to the soil via the rain ---- also all the extra water makes things pop, this has been researched and quantitatively measured. My guess is that if electroculture does work, it does so like the simulated lighting in the thunderstorm results. That means the electricity is distributing nitrogen and allowing it to be absorbed by the soil. However, there is going to need something like rain or dew as a transfer medium and the voltage would have to be very high. As for positive and negative ions in the ground, I have no clue. All I know from years of electrical engineering is that ground is neutral and dissipates charge almost instantly.
Nicola Tesla proved there's a huge amount of charge in the ground,yes?
"plant growth stimulator" was kinda like Hulda Clark Zapper originally and Bob Beck made it into a Beck Blood Electrifier....
My understanding is that it takes a powerful charge of electricity, such as lightening, to break the strong bonds of the nitrogen molecule in the atmosphere. Once split the nitrogen molecules bind with oxygen and form nitrogen dioxide, which dissolved in water forms nitric acid. The estimates I've read is that it can apply 1-50 pounds of nitrogen per acre. It's not unusual for a farmer to apply over 100 pounds a year. Soil microorganisms fixate much more nitrogen.
In order to smash the nitrogen molecule as lightening does it would require a powerful charge because a typical lightening bolt creates about 300 million volts. LOL
Some people would use "nitrogen fixators" around the plants they want to give more nitrogen to, e.g, clover leaves, then when done, work them back into the ground!
I guess the charge from the Earth works just like a fruit battery where the anode & cathodes are both in the same fruit but yields current to run the clock !
Tik tok lol 😆
Why would you comment on this subject without even trying it out?! 🤔
I too was skeptical . However I had the wire the sticks and the time. So I tried it. I haven’t noticed much of a change on my fruit trees. I did notice a respectable difference on the vegetable plants. Keep your eye out for some inexpensive copper wire. Then set up your own experiment.
There is also a similar philosophy for humans which is called grounding. Walking with your bare feet, or using a grounding wire with a wrist/ankle grounding strap while around the house. No idea about it. I have used strips of copper around 50' of raised beds to keep the snails and slugs out. From an electrical point of view, that is one of the reasons that people promote using Methylene Blue for brain fog, and many other things. The Methylene Blue is actually used by doctors in hospitals for carbon monoxide poisoning and other things.
The earth has a net negative charge n when you walk barefoot, electrons move into your body from the earth.. electron are needed for reduction of free radicals and for reducing oxidation stress. Oxidation is loss of electrons. Reduction is gain of electrons.
Does it keep the slugs and snails out of the garden?
@@marysurbanchickengarden Look for rolls of (I think it is) 4" copper specifically made for snails and slugs. The copper creates an electrical charge when their wet bodies try to go over it. You also bend out one side as it creates a sharp edge they also have to go over. The tough part is you have to clean it occasionally. It also comes with copper tacks to attach it to wood. I haven't used it since the mid-90s.
@@marysurbanchickengarden if you look a snail n slug bait its often iron. Apparently if you increase iron content if your plants snail n slugs leave it alone.
Amen !! 🙏👌👍👏
I can say that I worked for a tree service and one of the things we did was trim for the power company. It did seem the trees around the lines grew very fast, not saying its electroculture, I'm sure it's that new growth off the trimmed end just grows faster. More likely is the fact that seemed that way to us because it was never ending, there's a lot of trees around power lines in rural MS!
Trees, and any edge area grows faster. Trimming induces growth and they're is generally more exposure to sunlight. That's why edge habits are often encouraged for adding wildlife value to a property.
Also they, the power companies are retroactive in having these area trimmed in the first place meaning, always overgrown.
I agree with you but just in case I have two gardens one with it and one without it. Over the next three years we'll see if it's bull crap or if it's real. I have nothing to lose.
Sticker in there and try it. I've been doing it for two years and it works. You can laugh at me if you want to I don't give a d. Do your experiment and by the end of the season you'll see. That smart a attitude will change pretty fast.

All do respect, “been doing it for two years”, doesn’t answer the question. What are the differences in your plants you’ve experienced that has you using the method for two years??
-Change in height?
-Change in harvest weight?
-Health of plant ?
If you had to have open heart surgery and you interviewed a surgeon, would you decide to use that surgeon if you asked “why should I have you operate? and the doctor said, “I’ve been doing it for two years” with no other information?
More information allows for better decisions.
Boy if I had a nickel for every time I used that line..😂
Supposedly there was scientific data long ago that went missing. I do believe it would work in helping plants grow better, going to try a few this summer to test the theory out but I will be using fertilizers as usual.
Your should try one with and another without fertilizer to have multiple tests!
I'm sure mixing a few different methods can do wonders and miracles for growths, so why not?
Example, soil maybe almost depleted of nutrition, so, fertilise it, why not?
Water it differently too, some things grow more with drip feeds over longer time as a pose to just flooding the water all at once and maybe diluting away the nutrients in the soil? Some need acidity in soil, some alkanity in it etc etc! Permaculture works well too! Use combination with tests and trial and see what works best for you, nothing wrong in that approach now is there?
Be happy and do it with plenty of love and patience i say !!
Good luck 👍
@@yourwellwisher9646 thanks!
You just have to love that both sides seem to have a preconceived answer.
A true scientific experiment needs to be open to either result and set up appropriate testing which would likely incorporate a base experiment that does not include the testing example.
Having said that, I do not intend to put copper wires in my garden.
All I know is that I see you practicing it all the time, and your dang plants look really nice... especially those you plant on those cattle panels, tied to T-Posts driven down in the ground...

I was hoping to learn something watching this video. Instead I found someone who didn't try anything but had lots of opinions about it. Silly. I heard about electroculture, made a few coils and stuck them in some plants. I will know more at the harvest end of this season. At least I tried it.

In 2007 - 08 Florida went through a year drought, no hurricanes or tropical storms even thern. I experimented with something called orgone and created a resin type device with copper pipes, better known as a Cloud Buster.
After installing this device in my yard for about a week or so a clouds began to appear around the area here and a rain that was so light it float like feathers and continued raining that way for 48+ hours. Then a heavier rain fell, like regualr rain does, for the next few days which evolved into Amazon rain, very heavy down pour, for the next few days.
IF the Amazon rain would of came first then much of our area, in central Florida, would have flooded because the ground was so dry from the long drought. That extremely light rain that first came really helped to gently soak the ground enough to handle more heavier rain.
Later I constructed a much larger size orgone device, which I call the Sky Cleaner and since then, 2008 - 09, there have been very few hurricanes, tornados and other devestating storms to hit our area.
Before 2008 we use to get hit by severe lightning, winds, tornados and etc. every year since the early 1970's. The few but very strange and powerful storms (Fay was on of them) that made it to being near us, had caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damages to the surrounding counties and further out.
As Fay was on her way to Florida I constructed a long range orgone device made with five 10 ft. tall 1/2 metal pipes and orgone matrix poured into 3/4 of those pipes. As Hurricane Fay came hit south Florida I kept my orgone devices pointed at her and she began moving in a "zig zag northern pattern" from east to west comming up through the middle of Florida.
I must of repositioned my orgone devices over 20 times in order to keep them pointed towards Fay, until she moved on to Melbourne Florida and stayed there for 4-5 days flooding the area severely and then slowly moved north and tried to go back toward central Florida.
In the end, Fay did a 3/4 circle around us and moved on northward.
Do you reckon rain can be produced by this method as our country is getting hardly any...it used to be green and wet like Ireland in the northern hemisphere up to 20 years ago. They used cloud seeding on the west coast of our island but stopped a while ago as it drenched that side and the east side got none.
Dude I think I was way more interested in the comments!!!!
Hi Travis, the video from Deep South Homestead today showed a lot of results that the electroculture has produced. Having seen that i have become quite confused and would your take on their video.
Yes, I saw that video too. That's why I ordered some copper wire to test it myself. Will it work? I don't know that's why Iam trying it. If it doesn't work, I'm out 10 bucks.
Yeah, and Danny isn’t saying copper is some magic unicorn that makes it so you don’t need fertilizer. He STILL uses fertilizer. The copper is just a supplement, the same way people use fertilizer AND worm castings AND fish emulsion. It’s just another tool.
Danny from Deep South knows more about gardening than this young whipper snapper ever will.
Danny is a bit wacko
The only thing I saw him do was an apples to oranges comparison - no scientific value.
The fact that you can't find anything on the 'we control all information' world-wide web doesn't mean that it isn't worth doing. As a matter of fact, the mere fact that you can't find anything tells me that there might be something to this. Just sayin....
Your tinfoil hat is too tight, darling.
Travis never said it wasn’t worth doing..he said it wasn’t worth HIS time. The mainstream media might have a controlled message, but social media and “the net”’is a different story. Look at all the misinformation spread during the pandemic. When you were young you received a polio vaccine, your folks didn’t have the web to go to and no one questioned the information. It might just be, because you can’t find information on it, because there isn’t any?
Exactly
Deep South Homestead just showed results where they used copper coiled wire directly in the soil vs a plant without it. It did help the plant but I’m not positive this is a revolutionary thing here
What they didn't show you is them putting that wire next to their largest plant right before filming the video to show it works. Correlation does not equal causation.
It works done it. But hey keep using the big ag stuff and believe the news.

@@waynespringer501 Conspiracy followed by a soundbite.
Constant current I don't know. But the experiments im familiar with they simulated a lightning strike with metal rods pushed into the earth around the plants. One strike and left alone. The plants were well into their first true leaves and I think they were just testing for yield increases. Seemed legit with some encouraging results
lightning works on fungi.
While we are on subject about lightning, let me kindly add a note that, we have been lied to and misguided about the modern "earthing rods" on top of buildings!
The used to be "Aether energy collection antennas" about a century plus ago, where the rods collected Aether energy, went down into the building where they had electrical devices connected up which ran on it on DC current!
The electriacal industry has been turned upside down, just so they can give us AC current "electricity on meters" so they can mint money forever !!
Hence we need equipment that also runs on AC current and old devices destroyed to hide away the knowledge from us!
That tech is about to make the biggest come back in history !
@@yourwellwisher9646 I truly hope so.
I haven't seen it myself, but as I understand it, the WHO has a report on China doing serious green house projects on this technique. According them, fertilizer use went down 20% and production up one third.
I had my copper wire arrive today. Will make my first antenna and see what happens. I am still very sceptical about this.
However two things bother me..
1. The number of people saying it works.
2. I bought a water softener that works by magnets and a small electric charge surrounding the pipe. The water passes through the centre of this gadget. As it does it disrupts the molecules in the water seperating the salt from the water. Long term if you store this water the molecules with unite again. But it is beneficial to plants..not all but some.
So here I go. Im not giving up making and adding compost and worm tea. Its worked very well so far.
Hopefully this is a plus.
I think it may be an interesting science project, but I'm too lazy. I'm pretty sure some scientist/horticulturalist/biologist will eventually do a proper study. Meanwhile I will just sit back and watch and make my own observations. But you make a very valid point. I, it just so happens, am also college educated and if I didn't learn anything I learned not to state something as truth without having some solid evidence to back it. And I taught myself to question everything. No blindly following just because the other person is educated (just making sure its clear that not every educated person thinks they are above the uneducated, will only believe those who are educated, and can't listen to anyone else). Not downing anyone who believes electroculture. You want to do it, go right ahead, I won't criticize you, but I will be observing first. It will be interesting to watch.

I stuck two copper pipes into the ground by my runner beans. Nothing to lose by doing such. My crop of runner beans have been larger in length and the plants have been pest free. It could all be circumstantial but these are my findings this year.
I have to start off by saying how much I appreciate the format, and the way you presented your stance. It's refreshing to see someone cite sources and have their own reservations from their point of view! I personally am also on the fence about the principals electroculture, but have a few ideas on how this could be actually possible. From what i understand the atmosphere always carries a charge that increases as you move further north or south of the equator, as well as increasing as altitude increases as well (making the antenna effectively being the path of least resistance to ground). But that is never above 5v, so the experiment with 6-12 or 24 volts is questionable to me. If I had to guess id say that since nitrogen is a positive charge, the low voltage and current can help to absorb nitrogen into the soil. Once again I have no for sure opinion, just trying to wrap my head around it hahaha. Never the less, appreciate the video sir!
I just tried this a week ago and my gardens growing three times faster. I believe it works 💯
Whether or not this works: I love that he mentions Isaac Newton having something to say about this because he was literally an alchemist. The man was a scientist, but was also trying to create the philosopher's stone.

Yes, there have been research papers on the use of copper wire for soil electrification. This technique, also known as soil electroporation, involves the application of electric currents to the soil to enhance various processes such as soil remediation, plant root growth, and nutrient uptake. Here are a few examples of research papers related to this topic:
1. Title: "Soil Electroporation: A Critical Review of Basic Principles, Current Applications, and Future Prospects"
Authors: Li, J., Niu, Y., Chen, Y., Qi, H., & Zhang, X.

3. Title: "Influence of Electrical and Environmental Factors on Soil Electroporation for Enhancing Plant Uptake of Organic Pollutants"
Authors: Teng, Y., Wang, T., Lee, D. Y., & Luo, Y.
Published: Environmental Science & Technology (2013)
These papers provide insights into the principles, techniques, and applications of soil electrification using copper wire and offer a good starting point to explore the topic further.
You are the real MVP, sir. Thank you.
If it costs you $10.00 to get a wooden dowel and pure 12 guage copper to wind around it with a couple of inches of pure uncoated copper sticking into the dirt below the dowel and making a bit of a coil on top ending with a point above the dowel on the top, then do it. Stop wasting your time on videos and do one pot with it and 1 without . Done. Oh by the way, it works.
Costs $10... and all self-respect.
For the same $10 is 125 Tomato Seeds from MiGardeer, even with 80% gemination you are going to have EXPONETIALLY greater yields growing 100 more tomato plants than wasting time and energy on this gimmick.
Lisa, do you know if you need the dowel rods or just stick the shaped copper wire in the ground?
You can use a dowel, bamboo or a some wood off your land. Make sure the copper is in the ground a few inches.

I have a feeling this guy was put out here to promote Electroculture 💯 Because there's Far too much evidence that it works when done properly ❤
He says there is no predicate for an experiment. Then, he gives ideas of what is in the soil that could be responding to the electricity. It sorta sounds like there is a reason for an experiment. 😊
Why not try it and decide for yourself. You can make or break the process by your own scientific experiments.
Okay.. so... Thank you for presenting an intelligent and well reasoned argument about this. As someone who likes to tinker with gardening and also electronics and, in particular radio, I think this whole movement is better off in the compost pile... Because it's BS.
Yes, a wire, straight or coiled, is resonant at a specific electromagnetic (RF) frequency... That's EXACTLY what antennas are. However, antennas require a balance. That balance is either an equal (electrically) length of wire on the opposite side, as in a dipole, or ground (as a vertical would be.)
Sticking a wire, coiled or not, into the ground, simply makes that wire a ground. It is NOT an antenna at that point... At most, it's half of one.
… the suggestion about using a chop stick for indoor plants for the antenna was referring to using the chop stick for the base to wrap the copper wire around … he/she assumed it was understood what was meant …
Despite various publications of results where hand-washing reduced mortality to below 2%, Semmelweis's observations conflicted with the established scientific and medical opinions of the time and his ideas were rejected by the medical community. He could offer no theoretical explanation for his findings of reduced mortality due to hand-washing, and some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands and mocked him for it. In 1865, the increasingly outspoken Semmelweis allegedly suffered a nervous breakdown and was committed to an asylum by his colleagues. In the asylum he was beaten by the guards. He died 14 days later from a gangrenous wound on his right hand that may have been caused by the beating. His findings earned widespread acceptance only years after his death, when Louis Pasteur confirmed the germ theory, giving Semmelweis' observations a theoretical explanation, and Joseph Lister, acting on Pasteur's research, practised and operated using hygienic methods, with great success.
Within the first minute he says he's not interested, thinks it's silly, and won't do a side by side comparison because he can't research it well enough. How are you meant to test anything with that attitude? This is someone who doesn't believe in it so won't try it and that's his proof, not much proof for me if I'm honest 🤷♂️ also the lightening strikes DO cause healthier plants due to higher nitrogen in the atmosphere after strikes. For someone who's all science you're very dismissive of theories and unwilling to try them so not really helpful
You can't properly test something if you don't have some type of basis for how it works. There's no way to account for confounding variables if you don't know what you're testing. If someone can tell me how the plant physiologically responds to the copper wire, then we have room for experimentation.
@@LazyDogFarm ofcourse you can! Test it the same way as everything else. Make a prediction, see if it works. If it works, find variables. Slowly eliminate variables until you have a control. Rehypothesise and go again. Just because we don't understand it's machanism of action yet, doesn't mean we can't see a difference in results. Then once we see a difference we can narrow down variables and find said mechanism of action :) either they'll be better, worse, or exactly the same, all of which are worth testing in my opinion
this guy just sold me on using copper wire on my garden.... I'll do my own experiment before debunking it...
Yup my degree is Animal husbandry with a minor in wildlife science from the best SEC school, as in LSU 😂🤣😂 Georgia is okay too 😂🤣. With a whole lot of biology and botany I say this is just great good ole fashion fertilizer as in fecal matter from the male bovine species 😂🤣 ! For your viewers that don’t know what in the world I’m talking about, that would be Bullsh** ! So I gave this a valid effort ! I planted four tomatoes of the same variety in the same row but with a good distance between them. I dressed two with organic fertilizer while the other two I drove to stakes one a two feet and one at four feet, wrapped both with the same gauge romex wire. They were planted the same day at the same depth in late February. The two with the fertilizer have baseball sized maters on them and the other ones did fine up until mid March and I assume after using what good minerals in the dirt all up, they just looked like hungry plants. On April 10, I gave up and put the bull fecal matter, bone mill and, calcium nitrate to them, and they put their firs matters on this week ! If I could tell anyone that is thinking about doing this, is to just recycle your copper wire it will pay off way more than using it as an antenna in your soil ! I think wher I screwed up is I didn’t plug it in my electrical outlet 😂🤣😂 I’ll wait til it starts raining to try that one !! 😂🤣 Geaux Tigers !!!
Love your channel man ! Keep helping all of those people that believe everything that people tell them on you tube as to how to garden ! Like put an egg and a fish in the hole that you’re planting your maters in ! 😂🤣 Peee-u
Thanks for the science with humor.
Well, let me start if by saying that I know that I don’t know what works better. I literally just stripped some copper wire, have my wooden dowels and am ready to try electro culture because I do fall into conspiracy theories a lot and figured I would give it a try. But you do make some valid points. So now I don’t know lol. But when you said something about things growing better along the power lines it caught my attention. I have a fenced in 2 acre parcel, and the fence does not provide privacy. There is a driveway on one side to somebody else’s house and a main road on one side. The previous owner planted some kind of bushes along both of those sides to provide privacy, the main road side, which runs along right underneath the powerlines, is no joke 4 to 5 times bigger than the side that runs along the driveway. Doesn’t prove anything, could be a soil density thing.
My dad gardens about 50’ from a major overhead power line. Everything grows 25-30% faster at his place. I even did a test planting last year of beans and tomatoes. He had mature plants weeks before I did, and I did everything right. There was nothing wrong with my timing either, it was exactly as my seed packets said. But daddy’s plants were producing fruit faster. By about two-three weeks.
I can’t explain it. He’s made some sort of deal with the devil.
If you can prove there are no other variables promoting faster plant in his garden like weather, microclimates, insect pressure, disease pressure, soil biology, soil structure, soil nutrients, fertilizing, plant spacing, varieties and watering, then there might be something to it.
Lol
I was on a dolphin cruise years ago and no one was seeing dolphins. Someone yelled “there’s one” and everyone ran to that side of the boat. I went to the side that was empty and yelled “there’s one” and everyone raced to that side of the boat. So I moved to the other empty side of the boat and did it again. Everyone piled to that side. I never saw a dolphin, it was just for fun!
I totally love your position so much. You beat me to it, but I have a video coming out soon on this.
I can’t wait to watch it and see your position! Much love MiGardener glad to see you in the comment section of other gardeners!
Watch and like you both. Everything I have found suggests copper isn't good for plants, soil, or people.
Copper could have some benefits with its reaction with sulfur 🤷♂️. Total speculation on my part.
We now that you all sele fertilizer.. ore you worry you will not sale as much?
@@jlail1976 If copper is literally found in the earth and used in so many things you use.... how is it bad for plants, soil or people???? If it is bad then plants and people should be dead by now :)
I have an espaliered apple tree that was developing and open wound in several places on the trunk. I was upset about it because it took years to get the tree growing so what did I have to lose by trying a copper wire experiment? I stuck a stick in the ground with a hole at the top and threaded a length of copper wire through the hole horizontally. I created an open ended circle and this wire floated around the trunk of the tree. Since then the wound on the tree has been closing up instead of opening further and I am thrilled. I would rather spend the time testing an in expensive solution to a problem rather than call the solution silly and never having tested it at all.
I'm going to whittle me a good HDTV antenna.
Wood's no good. It's susceptible to BOTH the 5Gs AND the ChemTrails .../s
I did add my cats litter to my okra several years ago. Only on one side, and that side was a much darker green with very huge okra. It was a huge difference. That side of my garden smelled really bad but It was a great fertilizer.
Someone buy this man a beer!
But not a Bud Light. 😂
I am 63. Gardening most of my life. Putting coils in my pots has made a difference. Also, detered slugs. My potatoes were huge and my strawberries were were bigger, healthier, and sweeter. I have added to every single bed. Make your own and try it.
I'm so glad you made this video, Mr. Travis. I just started hearing about this, and before I started the deep dive, you did the research for me. Now I don't have to figure out how the heck I'm going to try to afford a crap-ton of copper wire for my garden. Instead, if I happen across a piece somewhere, I might put an "antenna" next to one plant and not another where I have two of the same plant in one bed, just for funzies (I do like to experiment). Thank you! And thank you for being so funny - I got a good laugh!
Don’t let this video discourage you. Try one or two 6 foot sticks wrapped in a little bit of copper it’ll cost you $5 to $7. Travis didn’t even try & just dismissed the idea because it goes against his belief system. Within one week of putting a 6 foot bamboo wrapped in copper next to my lychee tree sprouted new growth on every branch. It’s been sickly and non-bearing for two years.
@@RobertTozzi Exactly
He was afraid to try it! Against his matrix education...
..."u did the research for me!" And that ladies and gentlemen is exactly how our society is the way it is today..unfortunately
@@knottymom88 I see your point. People aren’t doing enough of their own research these days. I think part of what you missed, and what was inferred, is that I don’t have much money. In fact, I don’t have an income right now because my folks are needing a great deal of my time. Everything I do is for them. I live in a tiny world of dementia, hypertension, diabetes, and incontinence. When your plate is full because you’re the caregiver of people who need constant supervision, and your rare spare time is eaten up with researching their needs and the one pleasure you take is learning how to garden, the simple delight of having someone present you with an answer that you didn’t have to spend hours or days searching out yourself is a MIGHTY HEFTY BLESSING. I’m interested in the idea of electroculture and wouldn’t have watched the video otherwise, and I could absolutely use the help with growing bigger produce, but I’m not about to drop however much it would cost me (with no financial return) on something with anecdotal evidence, at best. I wish you luck in your endeavors to point out everyone else’s flaws. God bless.
I thought that’s kinda nuts , but I tried it just to give it a try , no harm no foul , so I had a old grounding rod with about 3 foot of wire attached, I made it into a crude antenna and stuck the grounding rod into the soil about a foot deep between 4 tomato plants planted in 4x4 square. Well the plants where loaded and grew 6 1/2 tall , it did seem to help considering I didn’t water much
I tried it. Seen zero benefits so far.
Been watching you, Travis, (fer) a while. I am 71 alive. Been Gardening for 50? In my Garden Myths was tie nylon hose to your plants for the static electricity to do what you said.
Please do what you do the Best Garden.
And Teach.
Wish I was there. 11:28
All you said was that it works but they don't know why. You also said that the 6v and 12v treated garlic grew slower..this says that the electric current does affect plant growth. People in the regenerative agriculture field who believe that you can attain a level of soil health where you don't need to do anything but put the seed in the ground will shake their finger at you. Elaine Ingram who makes boss compost and then uses just the microbes frim the compost to grow disease and pest resistant food would shake her finger at you.
"this says that the electric current does affect plant growth" ==> it says no such thing.
@@SgtSnausages to affect it negatively is to affect it. Maybe the voltage for positive growth is different that 6 or 12. Also it seems that..the original idea was the jsut give the atmosphere and soil a conductor to do their stuff naturally. Not to apply a fix voltage
You want science? Nikola Tesla, man!
Good stuff Travis 😂. Even if it did work I would rather turn my compost than try to run wire through the garden. I think it's finally gonna turn spring up here in southwest Missouri 👍
you can easily get copper from old wores amd just toss ot in the garden. Literally takes less than 10 mins . Worked for me for ages
I thought the premise was that it was atmospheric electricity affecting the plants, but the experiments you referenced used stored energy in the form of batteries of various voltages to pulse and “shock” the plants. This is not a reasonable test of the theory.
I'm wondering how you would hoe the weeds with all that wire in the garden. Shucks my family has been gardening for hundreds of years, if only they had known about the copper wire they wouldn't have had to sweat so much 😂 and spend money on the triple 13 they always used. I've learned a few things my dad and grandpa didn't know about organic gardening but knowing them they would have stuck to what they knew, it worked for them.
Travis why not do the experiment and put this baby to bed if it's nonsense. I was shocked to see Danny and Wanda buying into this, but I also heard him say " up the nitrogen when the onions start bulbing" so I don't know why I was shocked. Danny hasn't been gardening as long as I have and I know there are things I don't know or forgot.
Yeah you definitely don't want to "up the nitrogen" when onion plants start bulbing. You want to "up the water." smh
Perhaps the pH of the soil interacting w/ the copper stuck into the soil is simply fixing a copper deficiency in the soil (Cu is a micronutrient some fertilizers will include; I believe Cu helps w/ cell membrane or cell wall strength/elasticity.) & "structuring" (their term) the water by stirring/swirling it 7 or 8 times in 1 direction & then the other is merely aerating it. I know pouring stored water back & forth a few times between containers is recommended to improve its flavor by aerating & is a trick people know in emergency preparedness circles. Those were two of the points I remember thinking as I've been looking into some of these electroculture videos. I'm both curious & skeptical, & admit I ordered 2 coiled "antennae" to experiment w/, to make sure they are made in a way (coiled clockwise from the bottom up in the Northern hemisphere) that they claim is supposed to work. Now, another point: do they remove oxidation, or do something to prevent oxidation? All the pics I've been seeing show shiney copper, but that won't last forever...
Well just on an off note,
in humans and animals,
it's scientifically tried, tested and proven and logged, that deficiency of copper and selenium causes them to die of aneurisms ( like hardened heart walls and main nerves to and from it ) !
So, supplementing with the copper and selenium and them healthier!
A Dr. Joel Wallach, also spoke majorly on this too !
💪🏽 Great explanation on how not to lose your mind while gardening/homesteading
Well I've been gardening for 50 some years, and this past spring when I started hearing about Electra culture I decided to try it out! Let me just tell it works, I grew plants that I have never been able to grow before, I grew so much it was amazing! You should do an experiment instead of trying to debunk something you haven't tried, jezz! You work for the government or something? You have to wrap the copper a certain way depending what hemisphere your in! Try it before you knock it! I guess I must be one of those conspiracy theorists! Have you read your comments, seems like a lot of people are trying it! And finding that it really works! Happy gardening! ❤ 😂😂
Our ancestors put chicken manure in the garden before any college boys gave em the scientific reason it works.
They OBSERVED that it worked. Kind of like watering one plant and not watering the other during a drought. Guess what? The plant that doesn't get water might die. And they saw that over and over and over. With electroculture, you will have to prove that it is making a significant difference, an observable difference. Over and over again.
You could run an experiment for $5 or less, less than 5 minutes to setup. That amount of energy investment to run an experiment is essentially nothing. Even if there is a 1% chance of the growth 30-50%+ claims being true, it would be worth running the
I have an MBA and have worked for several fortune 500 companies so I understand a little bit of how they work. In my humble opinion, if there was any truth to this nonsense big agriculture would be all over this because with no fertilizer cost, no pesticide cost, reduced labor to apply, and reduced fuel cost big agriculture could make more money than they already do!! They wouldn't try to hide they would get a patent and exploit it!! Just sayin...
With great respect to you Travis, I don’t know if you’re wrong or right. You were naming these energies that people claim are around us. I do believe there are energies around us. Mostly Yahweh. I read quite a bit of the comments and if someone is wanting to try this experiment, it should be done in ground and not a man made current of electricity. I think to be done correctly would call for an earth ground copper stake, like what you would have for an electric pole. You would also need to have high copper poles around the perimeter that is connected to the ground source and possibly the plants. The magnetic field created around the perimeter is what I believe is what helps. I don’t know. Sounds like an experiment I can’t afford. I do believe there is so much we really don’t know when it comes to harnessing the energy around us. I proudly wear my tinfoil hat. Been laughed at for over half my life. Problem is the stuff I’ve been saying for half my life is happening. What I do know is you’re successful and so am I because of it. Thanks for sharing
Now that I’ve watched this there are “Electroculture” videos coming up in my feed. 😂
You've been tagged! lol
I consistently harvest my veggies 2-3 weeks before my brother does. Maybe that is because I have the neighborhood's power lines running over my garden. Then again, maybe it is because he lives in South Carolina and I live in Florida.
Well Travis, my dad always planted by moon phases. Our ancient people did likewise. If the powers that be think that co2 is the problem, they are wrong. Were also in a Grand solar minimum.
Do you get air inside your home? If so, what makes you think that atmospheric energy can't get inside also?
For goodness sakes don't try anything. That would just be silly Just keep buying.
Who said anything about buying?
The chicken manure is free, have you tried electrculture or just of just one of Danny and Wanda’s fan club?
