What is Electroculture & Does It Work?

What is electroculture, does it work, how does it work, and is there anything that explains why it is the most popular method of gardening currently?

I don’t know if it works or not either, but I have some old wire, so I stripped the insulation off and wrapped it around a nice stick. It looks nice in the garden, and may work as a perch for birds, or something for plants to climb. Either way, it looks nice and doesn’t take a lot of time or space. Maybe I will try experimenting with some in pots. Have fun gardening everyone.

The scientific method is free so we can all experiment at home and see for ourselves

I enjoy both MI Gardener channel and Deep South Homestead and enjoy trying new things. I don’t need a scientist to have peer reviews to try to persuade me. Scientist are paid off too.

All I am saying is there is nothing wrong with trying things in your own gardening context.

I was expecting this guy to actually try it and see if it works. "Here are the coils that I tried and here are the results! This actually works and here's the proof" or "I tried this for a month (show evidence of trials) and unfortunately, it doesn't work" ... But instead we got personal opinions on "conspiracy". 👀😆

[sarahbelcher]

I’m half and half on this one. I’d rather have seen you attempt it and show us. There’s actually several documents on it from the Uk during the world war era. That’s what I’ve been researching.

[missiechako]

Bottom line here:
I have found that Luke's information and seeds and plants have been the most successful, affordable and dependable that We've experienced ❤

You showed Danny from Deep South Homestead in your video. I've watched his videos about electroculture and I don't recall him toting all the promises you listed some videos proclaim. We bought some copper wire and made our own little antennas similar to the ones from Hillsmill, and I figured it can't hurt to try. I'm not trying to prove anything to anybody but myself and I'm having fun with it too. Looking forward to my results and a bumper crop.

Good day. Before electro culture became a spotlight on the media five years ago I set up a lightening conductor with copper in one of my gardens with two palm trees and another two in the other garden. I noticed the trees with the copper have grown passed my house roof top which is about 25 feet and the other trees in the other garden reached about 15 feet. When hearing about electro culture I decided to give it a try so I planted 7 cassava cuttings , four with the copper and the others without. Surprisingly to me those with the copper are now 9feet and the others 4.feet. I sowed Beefsteak tomato seeds with a copper coil around them and in four days they germinate instead of 8-10 days

Another of my favorite gardening channels is "Gardening in Canada." They are very science based yet open-minded and willing to do tests and experiments. They addressed electroculture recently and believe that at least some of it is true. I urge anyone interested in the subject to pay them a visit.

Luke, I just wish you would have done a small “experiment “ of your own before making this video about this and no one is saying not to use nutrients alongside this method. It in my experience has eliminated slugs in my garden. Worth it for me ♥️

[gardenlikeaviking]

Luke my friend what you said from 3:20 to 6:30 is really the heart of the matter here... I too believe this to be a bit of a gimmick but I am also doing a number of experiments with the ElectroCulture and if it proves to be effective I will revisit this comment and correct myself!!!... we must experiment to know for sure either way!!!

[trishthehomesteader]

Thanks Luke.
Yeah, I thought it was pretty wacky too. So, what the heck! I'll give it a try. It was getting to be the end of the season and my bell peppers weren't doing anything at all. It didst help that they'd taken a break when it was hovering around 100° for about 2 months (not normal). One of the plants needed staked so I wrapped a stake with copper wire, put it in the ground and tied the pepper to it. 2 weeks later, I had 5 peppers on that plant. I think I'd only harvested 2 from 4 plants up until that point. Is it the be all and end all? I don't know.🤷‍♀️ i may give it a go again shortly. Besides, copper wire is getting kind of expensive.
Blessings!💜

Well, my two cents worth.Tomatoes in a farm fence cage (home made) and that supported with a T-Post has always been our best!Pole beans on a metal trellis, 15’ vines.45 years in and we won’t be changing a thing.Last year we tried copper coated steel wire coils on peppers(garnered from old electric poles), No suprise it worked great.👍

[marypritchard]

Watch Deep South Homstead. He is a Christain older man who did some experiements and he's convinced it works and doesn't believe in new age stuff. I could easily see the difference in the plants. And, he has been doing it some for many years but didn't talk about it. He still uses amendments organically. There is still an amazing difference in his plants.

[thomasthibedeau]

Just put the information out there and let the people make up their own mind. I'm trying electro culture and have never seen a plant grow so fast.

[froginprogress]

I wrapped my potted mulberry tree with copper wire, and noticed a significant difference between the top branches that were wrapped versus what weren't. I want to see if it makes much improvement in the berry yield, but I'll do it again if it prevents or even slows the yearly slug explosion.

[BradleysAdventures]

I agree with you 100% luke, I am planning on doing some experiments this year with tomatos in bucket 3, no fertilizer, 3 with fertilizer, and 3 with copper wire they will all be the same tomato plant and all have the same amount of water I'm excited to see how it turns out but I am also skeptical for now.

[missiechako]

Danny King at Deep South Homestead has been testing this on both of his Homestead properties and has been videoing the process! ITS WORKING!

[deniselowery]

Luke you are doing a great job. I love the way you explain things. You don't try to force people to do things just to get them to watch you. I live my garden and I am so glad I found you to help me. Happy gardening!!

Electroculture has been documented as far back as the 1700's. USDA has studied and documented back in the 1920's. Other gov't too have studied this and some even have suppressed it too. I am trying this not because it is some new age, chi have to believe it for it to work thing, I do it because it has been proven already. I have an Honours Bachelors Of Science and am not easily swayed by wishful thinking. I take it you have a degree too (agriculture/horticulture likely?) I have friends and family who have gone through the university system and they cannot see past their course programming. Yes there is more to what we see out there so I will do it. Like Yoda says "Do or do not there is no try".
