My great grandfather who I never met born in the mid 1800s used copper in his fig tree farm. I don't know for sure but I believe this knowledge goes back to ancient times.

[@hillsmillhomestead]

Hello Tony Edward. Sounds like your great grandfather was a wise man and the apple (or fig) doesn't usually fall far from the tree! LOL You are correct in your belief that Electroculture does date back to ancient times. Its not a new concept at all. I read about it in my youth from an organic gardening book written in the 1960s that my grandmother had on her bookshelf, and have been practicing various methods of Electroculture ever since with much success! Thanks for watching our channel. We appreciate you!

[@dylan_mayes]

it works with other metals too, just copper being less vulnerable to decay. i've got galvanized steel wires on my antennae and a copper wire running down from it counter clockwise(i'm in northern hemisphere, so clockwise in the up direction) to more galvanized steel wire that then runs through the plant beds north/south

[@breesechick]

​@@dylan_mayes Thanks for explaining which direction to wind it in. I'm also in the northern hemisphere.

[@deniseturnbull8254]

We went to Home Depot today ask the worker for some copper wire and he said “for gardening”. We said yes. He told us we are about the 30th customer this month.😂 can’t wait to see the results! Thank you 😊

[@hillsmillhomestead]

That is awesome Janie Callaham! Thank you for sharing your experience. We sure hope you found the copper wire you went to purchase and that your garden is growing like crazy since you are practicing Electroculture! Share with everyone your results! We are excited to hear of them.

[@msmith1509]

An antenna can either receive or transmit energy. It probably matters when gardening. For the copper antennas that go into the earth, the direction that they are wound matters to determine if they will bring up moisture or drive it deeper into the soil. You don't want one wound so that it dries out your soil. You may be able to test them with thin hollow glass tubing filled with a colored water placed near them and see which way the capillary action goes, up or down. In actual current flow, the electrons migrate FROM the ground not into the ground. The two schools are called conventional and electron current flow. Ben Franklin got it backwards. But it is easier to understand his conventional electron flow in electronics. There is a passive device I have seen that uses this principle for drying out old damp buildings by reversing the polarity of the water. It is an aetheric device unlike anything I have ever heard of sold in Europe. It uses spiral coils and it can turn a damp castle so that it is bone dry by reversing the capillary attraction of the water. Thank you for your though provoking video.

[@jakemoitoso8834]

Cool information thanks. I believe the only time when electrons flow into the ground is when there is a storm above and the relative charges reverse if I'm not mistaken

[@debplamann8205]

I know what you're talking about. I had an antenna in the 📡 in the attic of my business to attract customers and keep my food products last longer

I had some of those old lighting Rods that used to be on barns and houses so I stuck them in the raised bed , btw I had never heard about this theory I just needed something and those were handy . Those beans produced like crazy, I never realized it was possibly my copper supports.

[@DonnaRatliff1]

I learned of this last season and after watching this video and I just saw Danny at Deep South homestead doing it, I'm going to try it myself this season and see how it does. I'm also zone 7 in NE Alabama on Lookout Mtn. I've been growing my own food using the Back To Eden garden method for several years with very good success but I'm looking forward to seeing how electroculture will do for me. I watched a video a couple years ago of this this guy who had strung copper wire over his rows and into the soil, when a thunder storm came with lightening his vegetables grew like crazy. I dont use chemical fertilizers, only my livestock manure at planting or placed down at fall. Though I do urea twice on my corn. At knee high and at tasseling. It works great for the corn. .

Mr Mickey, you totally inspired me with your early Electroculture videos, I jumped feet first into the research and found some interesting ideas to incorporate to my situation, not satisfied with a non lethal method 😮 I purchased a 20 stage Marx Generator that converts low voltage into 300,000 volt lighting bolts 😂 I’ve told my distance neighbors to watch out my way this spring and if they see Buzzards circling over my place it would probably be best to bring out a medical examiner and a backhoe. If all goes well, I’ll update this experiment.

[@justincase9463]

@@GathersNoMoss , With all kidding aside, the Marx generator can be very dangerous and American made units are impossible to find due to liability, it’s seem that these devices are popular with electrical engineers and persons with high technical ability, which definitely excludes me, but I do see it has great possibilities in Electroculture. As a side note I have found in German discussions sites that Beechwood used as stakes with copper wrapped ( just like Mr Mickey method) greatly increases plant size and yield, I have no explanation to how this works, but it is well documented in their research.

HEL-LO ! From the Upper Peninsula of Michigan , our ground is still frozen for another month yet , and we don’t plant until June 1st , and still worry about frost

[@hillsmillhomestead]

Greetings Joel Aichner from the Hills of Tennessee. Good to see you again. We are thawed right now as the temperatures here today were in the 80s. However, our zone's (7) last frost date isnt until April 21 so we are holding back on much of our planting for now. Thanks for watching and hanging with us again.

I had FUN !

[@WideCutSawmill]

Last year I had a leftover cherry tomato plant that I put in the corner of my bell pepper bed. It ended up being 2-2.5x as big as my other cherry tomato plants. Idk if there was some kind of benefit that the peppers gave the tomato plant but is was the biggest cherry tomato plant I have ever seen and I’ve been gardening since I was a kid at home. Have you ever heard of peppers and tomatoes being good companion plants? That tomato did over grow a 3-4 of my pepper plants though. Lol

[@hillsmillhomestead]

Hello WideCutSawMill. It sounds like you have already proven tomatoes and peppers can be grown together with much success and perhaps even compliment one another in the growing environment. The best prescription for growing any plant, is starting with a healthy plant. I enjoy reading your experiences. Thanks for your comments. Kindest regards.

Mr. Mickey, this is the first time thanks to Danny and Wanda that I am watching you from KZbin. How do I obtain copper material to put in my container garden? Can I purchase any material on Amazon? I am a senior and that’s why I do container garden, and 5 gallon buckets, I sure would appreciate your help so I can get the most out of my vegetables. Thank you for all that you and your wife do for all of us. God bless you lived in Tennessee mini years Memphis before coming to the gulf coast Biloxi I’m just 30 miles from Danny and Wanda we’re having cool weather I am loving it.

Thank you for the info. Very interesting...Does it matter which way the coil goes (clockwise, versus counter-clockwise)?

[@hillsmillhomestead]

Thanks for your comment, Todd Jensen, and for watching Hill's Mill Homestead's Electroculture videos. It does matter which direction your coil is turning. Clockwise North of the Equator.

[@virginiaseedsskogen2038]

Thank you, for sharing your knowledge and expertise, Mickey! Just saw one of your other videos for the first time a night or two ago, your video was in my feed. Though I do really appreciate Danny & Wanda at Deep South Homestead, I missed their videos about your antennas. Glad I have noticed your video in my feed. I've order 10 antennas. Approximately what range does one antenna cover, just guessing at 2' - 3' circumference? We'll start with 10 antennas and see how it goes.

[@hillsmillhomestead]

You are wise beyond your years, Virginia Seeds Skogen, you are correct at approximate 3' circumference. Looking forward to getting you on your way to Electroculture. Thank you for watching our channel and subscribing. We appreciate you.

I stand in front of the garden space then hold out my left hand like imma get change at the gas station. I hold my right hand in the stop sign position pointing at my subjects. I make a tone of 528mhz with my inner ear beads and activate the quantum observer affect. It pulls energy in through the left hand and directs it out the forehead and is directed by the right hand. In conclusion its the same thing you do already but with out copper wires or tedious manual labor. Nice raised boxes ole bean.

That is a great question Chris Clark. True on the counterclockwise coil. Try both ways (north side and south side of plants) and see which works the best for you "down under" friend. Let us know your results. We would love to hear your conclusion!

[@TheTickpicker1]

Hello Mickey I like a hundred others learned of you from Deep South Homestead, thanks Danny. I looked through dozens of questions and comments looking for the answer to my question before asking. Does it matter how many coils or the number of coils per antenna, and does it matter what diameter the coils are? 1/4 inch or 2" is any size better than any another diameter. Many thanks.

[@hillsmillhomestead]

Hello Hawk Alougee. Kathy here. Mickey is cracking the whip on the antenna assembly line right now (lol) because of the wonderful shout out we receieved from Danny and Wanda, so he is transcribing to me for your answer. In the very near future we will have details on what Electroculture tools he has developed from years of trial and error in his garden applications whether they be containers, raised beds, rows, potted plants, or orchards. There are many methods and its hard to detail each one. We are so happy to hear from you and your interest in the details because that tells us that you want to give it a try in your own application.

[@AUDIOSWAMP]

The SWR ( standing wave ratio ) is very important to how much energy is transmitted and received through an antenna there is 1/4 1/2 3/4 and full wave antennas but it determined how much power flows in and out and it makes a difference !!

[@hillsmillhomestead]

Hello Georgia Geology & Gold. It sure does matter and make a difference! SWR was taken into consideration when researching for the design of the Electroculture Copper Coil Antenna we use in the container gardens and raised bed. We appreciate you watching and for your knowlegeable comment.

What size are the containers you are using & what can you plant in them? Would like to try doing the containers! I am trying the electroculture stakes this year too.

[@hillsmillhomestead]

We have two different sizes that we use, one is a 45 gallon and the other is 25 gallon. We've grown cucumbers, peppers, lettuces, broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, peas, potatoes, carrots, radish, onion, squash. We havent grown tomatoes in them but you can, as well as most any other thing. The most important thing to remember is watering is imperative. Containers will dry out faster than soil in the ground. Thanks for the great question and let us know how your Electroculture garden turns out.

Hello Jake Robinson. The antenna that Mickey uses in this video is indeed 12 AWG bare copper wire.

[@Crystal-iy6gx]

So does the copper antenna need to be taller than the plant or tree? I'm so glad I found your channel so fascinating and helpful! Thank you

[@hillsmillhomestead]

Hello Crystal. Thank you for your question. The antenna does not have to be taller than the plant or tree. You will see from this video the copper coil antennas are only about 10 inches tall from the ground in this raised bed but just know, the taller the antenna, the more electrical current it captures. Our orchard antennas stand about 6ft tall.

[@Crystal-iy6gx]

@Hills Mill Homestead thank you so much I was wondering because when I seen yours they were short so I didn't no if I could use them in my raised beds now my beds are a little over 2 foot high so thank you for everything!

[@abundantlyblessedhomestead9951]

Question: can I use a Tpost wrapped in copper as a large intena or does it need to be wood wrapped in copper? Does the type of stake matter?

[@hillsmillhomestead]

If you use a metal rod, we recommend that you attach a magnet to it so that you can capture electromagnetic energy as well. Using wood, you are good to go as long as your copper wire is wrapped clockwise, and it is placed into the ground 4-6". Hope this helps.

1. You make a coiled copper stake but you also use the cb antenna which is not coiled. What is the difference? 2. You make the small copper coils for individual plants. Would a tall coil achieve similar results for a larger area, and what size area?

[@hillsmillhomestead]

Hello Deb999Deb thanks for the question. The CB antennas have copper coiled around them underneath the coating. The taller the antenna the more effect if will have. I am working on my orchard antenna now and it will be available on the website soon.

[@timkasper9513]

I absolutely love it! I think of the antenna as a dowsing rod and the definition of of dows is to do well, to be able, to thrive, to prosper. 😊 also what mhz are u tuning to 100 - 1000? I wonder if it can be tuned say 7.8mhz or 432mhz to achieve maximum exposure potential

[@hillsmillhomestead]

Thanks for your comment Tim Kasper. You speak ALOT in so few words! I like the way you think but you are talking above my pay grade partner!

[@ladominaroque]

Question. I am about to put lots of little copper antennas in my garden. My daughter wants to know will they attract lightning and will we have lightning strikes on and near the house and will we burn down. This is a big worry to her, and I have not yet heard any electroculture people talk about the danger of lightning strikes after you start with the copper antennae in the ground. Is this a danger? I have a small yard. The lot is 80 x 100. Are we at risk of lightning hitting the house and causing fires? The antennae I am making are 12 inch wooden rods, which will have 12 gauge copper wire wrapped around them, with about 6 inches copper sticking out the bottom and maybe 2 or 3 inches copper sticking out the top. Please advise. I don't really want to burn my house down.

[@hillsmillhomestead]

We can certainly understand your concern ladominaroque. While we cannot guarantee that nature will not ever strike your house with lightening, we have never heard of lightening striking copper antennas and causing a fire. We have practiced Electroculture for over 40 years and never had an incident, but just know, nature can strike any where she pleases.

[@catherinecaporicci4166]

Question: For the antennas on the larger posts (6feet high), do you orient the antenna and copper North South? DO you place this Larger Antenna on the South portion of your garden?

[@hillsmillhomestead]

If you are doing multiple posts (6ft+) you can align them north and south. You do not have to place the antenna on the south portion of the garden but you definately receive the greatest benefit when you place what you are growing between the antenna and magnetic true North. If you are using a metal post, add magnets. This will create electro-magnetism as well, which is also another method of Electroculture.

[@catherinecaporicci4166]

Thank You!!

[@jacquelyn1400]

Can you explain where magnets would be added? I could find metal posts easily. Thank you.

[@catherinecaporicci4166]

@@jacquelyn1400 The only thing I know concerning the magnets is that you have to correlate them with the proper polarization - North with North, South with South. The magnets should be placed in the ground -attached to the antenna's copper wire. That is what I suggest. The magnets promote fast germination. I hope I was helpful.

Hi! I saw someone try out the copper antennae with carrots.. and the carrots were rather small. He noticed the foliage was high. Could it be bringing in too much nitrogen? Bc I know tomatoes love nitrogen but others don’t. Could the copper only be good for certain types of plants? And love your videos and your knowledge :) your tomatoes were amazing last year!

Hello missmikay217. Thank you for watching our channel and for your comment.
