ELECTROCULTURE - Watch This Before Trying It! 

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. 🤷🏻‍♀️

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 .

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.

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.

Absolutely hilarious that this guy didn't, and won't, do his own experiment on it, but has the nerve to 'debunk' it.

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 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.

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. ❤

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

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.

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.

Not saying it works or not but I remember what happend last time we "trusted the science"

"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.

Don’t knock it until you try it. IT wORKS. I’ve compared my plants and it is amazing.

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.

Deep South Homestead and Hills Mill Homestead shows it works. I applied various forms in my garden and the results are huge!

I would disagree with you. I’m experimenting with it and I’m seeing positive proof it helps. I’m be posting a vid on it in the next week.

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 RU-vid 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.

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.

Gardening with copper implements has had some amazing impact.

Why read any articles at all? It’s pretty simple to know for yourself, unless you’re scared of the results either way. Put it to the test!

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. 🎉

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.

Why would you comment on this subject without even trying it out?! 🤔

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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....

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

My Hoppie Indian tobacco plant Nicatina grew amazing better when I planted a copper pole in the dirt. It affects different plants differently.

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.

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

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.

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

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. 😉

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

This is by far my favorite gardening channel because Travis is grounded in reality. There's no magic to gardening.

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 .

Why not try it and decide for yourself. You can make or break the process by your own scientific experiments.

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 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 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!

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.

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 ❤

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

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.

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.

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 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! ❤ 😂😂

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.

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.

… 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 …

Buddy…. If this was a movie, your disposition tells the watcher that you will be proved wrong by the end of the film…honesty your topic of discussion actually does wonders for plant life that is not my opinion but yet experience! It has been proven over and over again…. I kind of thought you were joking being such a critic…. You should try it out! I can’t go back!!! ANALOGY: it’s like cutting your lawn with a really nice pair of scissors your entire life and then someone comes along and tells you about this silly complicated lawnmower thing!

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

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.

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 have nothing to add , everything I would say has already been said, for the second year now it is making my garden flourish!

Dude I think I was way more interested in the comments!!!!

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.

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

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...

Someone buy this man a beer!

I just tried this a week ago and my gardens growing three times faster. I believe it works 💯

I'm going to whittle me a good HDTV antenna.

Electrical engineer perspective... Any charged particle is bound by the laws of physics, with the conductor picking up the radiated emissions from our Wifi, radio, TV, and parasitic emissions causing current flow within the area of the root zone, and charged particles repel and attract each other, it may facilitate mobilization of the ions associated with plant growth. By no means am I saying the "woo" spouted by the examples given is valid but there is some validity to the physics, and it's bitten me in the butt more than once thinking I understood anything. One major flaw in the examples you provided was that the tests carried out were done with DC sources, where the actual infinitely small currents generated by an antenna would be AC HF signals. So a DC current, multiple magnitudes larger than the real world AC signal, was used to debunk the effectiveness of a real world AC HF signal. This "proof" you provided is not the solid evidence you think it is, RF (radio frequencies) is considered the black magic of electrical engineering. If the folks with the intellect to do EE think a subject within the field is so utterly complex it's considered magic, believe us, this is unbelievably convoluted stuff where you just accept that it works. The best way to debunk this would be to copy the EXACT dimensions, material, orientation to the ground plane and geomagnetic reference of any example you choose, conduct a side by side in the same conditions. Substituting DC source examples for RF AC signals is lightyears away from the proof you think it is and gave me a good chuckle, started my first garden this year and you have been my go to for information. Binged the majority of your content earlier in the year, I enjoy the information and greatly appreciate your effort to help us provide for our family's. If you would like I can provide some links to videos on the subject and you can see for yourself that I'm not misleading, the antenna shape, size, material, geographic location and orientation, ground reference mineral content, moisture, humidity, and about every other quantifiable variable contributes to the signals that would be picked up. You have helped me so much (my garden looks great BTW) it's the least I could do. Just in case, I didn't make this comment to be a contrarian or that I'm right about anything above, but with the intent to help spread awareness that the topic discussed within the video is in fact potentially real and supported by known scientific mechanisms but not proof of it's existence either. "There is a chance" does not mean it's valid, rather that it can't be disregarded so easily as portrayed within the video.

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.

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.

I remember as a kid my dad saying that plants jumped after a lightening storm and I’ve seen it. Whether it was the rain or the lightning I don’t really care. I’ll let Mother Nature continue to do it and I’ll accept what she gives me. I’m not going to try to create it myself with Electroculture. It’s cost in materials and electricity, the extra work to set it up and maintainit and the possibility of shocking myself will keep me from doing it. In addition it would probably shock the earthworms. And since I’ve never heard of electrical shocks having positive effects on the human body I’m thinking the the worms and plants don’t like it much either. Like you I’ll consider it quackery and stick the proven methods.

Do the experiment dont just talk about something you know nothing about to many people with cameras theses days

There are people who think fireplaces and the architecture of old buildings were used to harness atmospheric energy lol. Reminds me of this a little

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.

I'm looking for scientific evidence that this works, just like you. You mention in the video that current is being passed through the copper wire, but some RU-vidrs are just placing the copper wire in their garden without a charge and saying it works. I don't see it. Until I see actual scientific evidence then I'm sticking with manure, compost and regular fertilizer feedings.

I totally love your position so much. You beat me to it, but I have a video coming out soon on this.

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 tried it. Seen zero benefits so far.

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.

I watch another RU-vid channel on a regular basis, and they're really pushing the electroculture. It's a curious thing, but I keep going back to Jeremiah 23:16 and Matthew 7:15.

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!

Hahaha hahaha 😂😅 No, TRY IT FIRST ...Then you won't need to watch this!!!! 😂😅 I've been applying Electroculture since right before Thanksgiving '22❣️ I started with a skewer wrapped Clockwise from the bottom Up in 14 gauge copper wire. To my astonishment my Thanksgiving cactus not only bloomed Beautifully, there were THREE MORE successive flushes of blooms🎉❤ The 4th one just ended beginning of May❤ Needless to say, I have applied Electroculture in Many ways & I'm still not through experimenting 🎉❣️ Just yesterday I measured a 7" strawberry leaf 😂🎉 Just Go For It! It's like being a child again 🥰👍💗 Discovering Life as we should know it. Why do you think the plants grow so Wildly Big under the Aurora Borealis?!🎉

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 👍

A beautiful bunch of plants. A friend asked me to help him with electroculture. This video show some promise. Thanks.

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...

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. 😊

Our ancestors put chicken manure in the garden before any college boys gave em the scientific reason it works.

Don’t just agree or disagree because someone else says so do the research yourself. I have always noticed that plants are bigger and bolder after lighting storms. Could just be me
