My 120-day outcomes with electroculture as a simple methodology to encourage backyard crops to develop quicker and extra robustly.
Electroculture is buzzing within the gardening group as a simple solution to encourage the expansion of crops at a extra brisk and strong tempo.
Under is a brief video from Electroculture.life that summarizes the way it’s executed and why to do it.
Supposedly, the copper wire harness the free electrons within the air to nourish and fertilize the soil, which sparks speedy and strong plant progress.
Vegetation nourished by electroculture are supposedly extra proof against pests. Some declare that you just don’t even have to fertilize the crops in any respect …. the free electrons nourish the soil for you.
My Outcomes with Electroculture
For the reason that soil the place I stay in Florida is kind of sandy and low in vitamins, I assumed my backyard and yard could be an ideal candidate for electroculture.
Roughly 120 days in the past, I procured copper wire and wrapped a number of sticks to check out the method for myself.
Sadly, the outcomes have been lower than spectacular. In two of the three circumstances, I positioned the copper-wrapped stick “antennas” on the south aspect of the plant to maximise the consequences of the earth’s magnetic area.
Sadly, in all three of my makes an attempt, the non-electroculture plant truly grew higher than the crops with an electroculture antenna close by 🙁
Under are the images of my outcomes.
Ardour Fruit Vine Seedlings
The primary image under exhibits the distinction within the progress of ardour fruit seedlings with and with out electroculture.
As you’ll be able to see, the seedling with an antenna is rising considerably slower than the one with out the assistance of a copper wire antenna.
Each have been planted and sprouted on the identical time. The copper-wrapped antenna was positioned when the seedlings have been roughly the identical dimension.
Potted Panorama Vegetation
My second instance is of two bougainvillea panorama crops that have been partially killed off by a winter freeze.
They have been at roughly the identical stage of restoration 4 months in the past once I positioned a copper wire electroculture antenna in one of many pots (south aspect of the plant) to see if the plant would recuperate quicker.
Sadly, it didn’t.
As you’ll be able to see, the potted plant with out an antenna is considerably additional alongside within the restoration course of.
Moringa Timber
I additionally examined electroculture with my two younger moringa timber.
In contrast to the earlier examples above, the timber have been rising straight within the floor. Maybe this might have an effect on the outcomes?
Apparently not.
As soon as once more, the tree rising with out assistance from an electroculture antenna is rising at a quicker and strong clip than the tree that has one.
As with the bougainvillea above, these timber have been broken by a freeze final winter.
I minimize them again to the identical spot on the trunk after which positioned the electroculture antenna subsequent to one among them to see if it could recuperate/develop quicker.
As you’ll be able to see, the tree with out an antenna is rising considerably higher.
Does Electroculture Actually Work?
The hype surrounding electroculture could be very compelling with some sources saying it’s the reply to world starvation.
Sadly, my private makes an attempt to make it work on my property have failed three out of 3 times.
What am I doing incorrect (if something)? I might recognize any enter any of you who’re extra skilled with this may present.
I might love for electroculture to be true and an precise precept dwelling gardeners might use to extend manufacturing inexpensively and simply.
However up to now, it isn’t dwelling as much as the hype at my home.
