Ashley is a soil scientist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her p
ost-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
Some of Ashley’s interests are UA-cam, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s UA-cam channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her UA-cam channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.

Here is the copper strip for slugs & snails. geni.us/zHZfyfG
Here is a link to an Etsy shop that sells copper for plants - similar to the images at 3:20 go.magik.ly/ml/21u5f/
If I find copper spray I will link it. It’s shockingly difficult to find…
Slugs went to town on my greenhouse peppers this year. Finally, I removed the slugs and the peppers grew nicely. I wish I'd removed them earlier!
Captain jacks- copper fungicide
You can make Bordeaux mix with lime and copper sulfate, so why not just use the copper sulfate and make a copper spray?
This year I am experimenting with the copper wire wrapped on bamboo and placed in the soil next to the roots. Did this about 3 weeks ago and my peppers and this is what I have noticed visually this far. The peppers and tomatoes with the stake never get wilty even when it's 33°c. The plants have shot up in height and are taller than their neighbors without the copper stakes. To my surprise the tomatoes and pepper plants with copper have an insane amount of flowers and so far the veggies growing on them are larger too. So that's my observations so far, and I love that you make these videos!! Thanks so much for all your amazing info. ❤
Better growing conditions may be the factors that influence your pepper growing more succesfully.
I know a guy who has begun using copper to germinate seeds and thinks it works. He also argues that the world is flat, so here I am to see what scientists can prove.
Are we really spinning on a ball 2 different ways while speeding thru the galaxy at a rate so fast yet we feel nothing? Nothing moves…….gravity is so smart it knows how muc an ocean needs as opposed to a butterfly or an aunt. Hum🤔
@@VanderlyndenJengold copper is extremely powerful. 7x energy of water and moves 600x as much energy as water.
@@RonnieMcNutt666I water my plants with molten copper
I made a copper and bamboo coiled stake and placed it at the trunk of a 4 year old almond tree, and my almonds were the size of plumbs.
So im an electrician with tons of scrap copper lying around. I been seeing so much stuff about electroculture since last summer and i decided to go all out and not even have a control group!!!!! I put over 20 antennans and i even bought some copper pipe and wraped copper around that and made antennas at the end of them!!!!! I planted my tomato plants (that were weak and over watered oops) straight in without weathering them 6 weeks ago. I dont know if theres somewhere where i can send you pictures but im 5 foot 9 and my tomoto plants are about 6 feet now!!!!!!!!!!! My cucumbers were almost dead because of crazy 35+ degrees in june. All their leaves fried......now they're all thriving im picking about 5 cucumbers per day off of 8 plants. My peppers my celery cabbage carrots radishes kale onions EVERYTHING is massive. One of my friends is a seasoned grower and she cant believe its my second year doing this!! My results are better then hers!!!!! The only difference is my antennas. We started seedling at the same time and she weathered her stuff and i didnt. Im not using ANYTHING to make this grow and my kids are reaping all the benefits. Electroculture works!!!!!!
How far apart are you placing antennas, and how deep? I'm really curious.
@@kodeyvanhorn8160 i just went ahead and put them about 4-6 feet appart. I went in at least 6 inches deep with the antennas. The summer is winding down now so i picked most of the stuff out but out of 6 green pepper plants i got at least 50 peppers, i picked tomatoes all summer long!!!!! My cucumbers got root rot because of all the rain but i planted new ones and still picking some but got root rot again because of all the damn rain. My green/yellow beans are the size of my forearms and snap peas are huge as well. The celery grew to be 5 feet tall. My carrots are crazy as well. They grew deep and its mostly clay after 4 inches of dirt. I planted stuff way to close. Next summer i think im gonna have better results. O and i never seen SO MUCH wildlife in my backyard. Its been 12 years and the amount of birds, bees, squirrels, skunks have been out of control. Only the last 2 weeks they've all been eating the tomatoes. Nothing went missing before that. And ZERO pesticides or fertilizers!!!! I hope it helps😊
Can you send me pictures of it on email?:)
And your control group? All I hear is anecdotal "evidence".
@@kodeyvanhorn8160 randomly close to all the veggies. I got bamboo sticks, wrapped 7 feet of wire around them and i have about 3or 4 inches in the ground(so that it stays in well enough) and whatever is left at the top i point it straight up in the air
The world economic forum😳. I doubt they want you to grow more food.
i know , right , .... but they also want us to eat more plants , so maybe there is something to it ..... and if it works , feed the extra plants to cows :D ;)
@@charlesboston1 they want us to be dependent of government. Not be self dependent. They talk about much worst stuff like genocide
They want you to eat the bugs own nothing and be happy.
@@theghostofsabertache9049 yep
Right!
I already use lots of copper,silver too in the form of cash to buy things like amendments etc, I am in need of better weather more than more tips. has been horrible weather so far and I'm sick of clouds rain and poor air quality, but thanks for the video.
Copper as a fungicide makes sense to me though I’ve never tried it. Copper is also used in bottom paint for boats in the ocean to help prevent the growth of barnacles etc on the hull (I don’t think they sell it to consumers anymore for environmental reasons but it’s still available to professionals). When you see a big commercial vessel with a red bottom in the water it’s because that paint is laced with copper. (It’s also available in other colours but presumably basic red is cheaper with less added pigment)
Thanks and Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦
I started using a copper shield around the base of my pepper plants to keep the slugs away. Before I put it in place the slugs were eating holes in the leaves. After I installed the copper mesh around the base, no more holes in the leaves. It works great and I will be using this every year from now on. Thanks for all your great videos.
I've viewed slugs crossing copper so don't think it's 100% effective. Mind you, if it was just 50% effective I bet I would've used it this year.
Crushed eggshells to eliminate slugs & snails. Just sprinkle around plants. Do not get it on leaves as it will burn them.
I’m pretty sure there’s a lot of people out here experimenting with copper to grow their plants and protect them from insects, fungus and bacteria. I’ve seen a few and they’ll show you the difference between the ones they’ve actually used copper on and ones that they haven’t and some of them are pretty technical, so I’m think everybody should try things, but do a little research into the science behind it and find out exactly how to move forward but if you’re really curious and you don’t have the wherewithal to go ahead and do the experimentfollow a few people who are tweaking it and finding positive results and then it’ll save you a lot of trouble in the future and how you wish to move forward if gardening is your thing
Liquid copper fungicide truly works for my fungal and bacteria infected plants! Mint Rust is almost impossible to get rid of but the copper does help !
I got a 6 inch copper wire from work site and placed on 4 x 4 next to my tomato plant. I don’t know if it’s working or not but the plant itself is very healthy.
I may make a small wind turbine with copper electric wire
Fun topic! Thank you! Your hair is amazing!!I've been wanting to play around with this😊
Awe thanks!
Kudos to you for strongly recommending people try electroculture of they want to rather than just taking your word for it.
Where do you buy the copper sheeting from?
Thank you as always Ashley!❤
You are so welcome!
Trying passive elcroculture on my garden this year and so far the garden is really popping. You can feel heat above the antennas. I have 4 in so fsr and maybe 3 more to go.
Wow! Thanks for your comment.
May I ask, how close are you putting the stakes to your plants?
I bought copper tape a while back, to put around my containers to fight snails climbing up the sides. I don't think it was wide enough (I think it was 2 or 3 inches wide). Wish I had known about this mesh, it seems a lot better and easier to work with. I never would've put copper wire through a plant. I also won't be putting 8-foot copper spirals in my garden. I may consider foliar spray, not sure. Do you use copper for foliar spray? Is the expense justified when compared with other more common methods? Thanks Ashley! I love when you do myth busting.
Would the copper mesh work against rollypollies?
My tomatoes get some form of blight or wilt every year, some varieties not so much, some years not so much. A popular UA-cam gardener advocates using a solution of hydrogen peroxide, I am very hesitant to do that (unless you approve). Will try the copper based fungicide.
Different subject! A friend of mine asked me if allelopathic properties can reduce pest pressure in a garden, have no clue.
Really enjoy your videos! Stay Well!!!
Have a video coming out later today that might be of interest.
I’ll do a video on this because I have blight this year
I like mesh to help against slugs for sure but haven’t tried any of the others
I’ve only used copper as a fungicide. What the mixture for a foliar spray? Thanks for sharing this info Ashley!
Marker :56. Right off the bat I felt at home. I am medical and grow cannabis for myself. I began as a complete novice and read about this on the cannabis plants. Many myths surround tomatoes and cannabis.
TY for this good informative video (as always!). I have copper mesh from LV & it is making a difference for sure...slugs were decimating my garden sorrel. Question: what do you think of copper tape (adhesive on back)? I've see a few UA-cam vids where a narrow band of copper tape is at base of a container (way less than 6" width)... haven't heard anything from them, just noticed the pots in their greenhouses. Thx!
I tried the tape and it didn't work for me, but the mesh works great!
It would need to be a thicker to get rid of pest problems unfortunately
I'm fam jam are in foam lake and sheho, just wondering if your from around there
I’m in Saskatoon!
I love your channel thank you for all the information
You are so welcome!

If I find a link for spray I’ll link it!
Good video with lots of information to help cut through the “bull.” I might try the copper thing some time just for fun. I do have a question about using copper fungicide on my lettuce and tomatoes, though. After spraying it, is the lettuce and tomato safe to eat? After washing, maybe? I’ve been reluctant to use it before now because I’m trying to be organic. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! And yes it’s totally safe to eat.
Your hair is so pretty
As Always, GREAT information.
Glad it was helpful!
Anything on Ozonated water in gardening?
So what about the bees will this make it difficult for them also will this work with Flower's
Copper did get rid og my leafy mold on my crepe myrtle
Thank you.
Slugs and catepillars are eating my hostas, dahlias, hydrangeas, and sweet potatie vine and other vegetation! I did apply sluggo but got wet and moldy underneath the plants…..still meed to rid the insects, I hope I’m not fighting a loosing battle cause they’re still causing damage! I’m in AL zone 8b
Do those electroculture kits work on Amazon? I want to try this out this year but not sure where to start
I wouldn’t waste money on it.
There are more things in heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy .
It was relevant to some point in your video, but I misplaced it. LOL Thank you for your efforts!!
I justvwrapped my plum trees and apple tree in copper mesh is that ok?i stapled it in the tree with a staple gun
I pierced my tomato plants with copper wire, and left a small piece of copper wire in the bottom of the and I’m having great results, in all honesty I’ve never had such an abundance of huge delicious tomatoes before.
You teased me with them braided ponytail
HAHA I took that this morning.
YOUR COPPER FOLIAR SPRAY ..... what are you using ? , how much per gallon ( or liter ) . are you using a wetting agent ?
would copper sulfate work for this ?
Would’ve loved to hear everything you had to say it was very interesting. I’m sure but the wind and the birds. Mostly the wind became very distracting.
What do you use for the spray for copper
I use technically a fungicide haha
You Missed 2 Ashley... Though I haven't heard of either in a very long time, since the 70s & 90s... 1st, (70s) use old copper water pipe as the stake to tie the tomato plant to. 2nd, when setting up a new garden bed, before double digging, grab 6 or 8 feet of old copper household electrical wire, strip and cut into 1/8ish inch pieces, and dig in... IIRC it was supposed to stimulate growth...
I thought you were going to say the blue spruce hack when I read the copper pipe comment
@@GardeningInCanada Not familiar with that one.
This thought came to mind while reading a historical article about the Potato Famine in Ireland. Would copper work to stop potato blight?
Hi! from the Saskatchewan Montana boarder.
How much copper coil or antenna per plant
At the beginning, I thought this was an episode of Wayne's World with their extreme closeup.😁
Thanks for the info. Very pretty red hair, btw.
Ain't know where as windy as Windy Wyoming!! The trees actually grow sideways cause of the wind blowing so often, I'm pretty sure that's where the wind blown look came fom.
LOL, hey girl! Being from SK myself I understand the wind and you need a windshield for your microphone (since it is never un-windy there). 🤣🤣🤣
The sad part is it had the wind muff 🥲
@@GardeningInCanada maybe just a bigger one and then you will have the muff! 😂
What is that copper sheet actually called, I'd love to get it.
The chain mail looking stuff I was holding? I linked it above
I totally forgot to link it sorry! geni.us/zHZfyfG
How about contrary use to kill trees? I've heard copper nails in bottom of trunk kills them in a few months.
Yup it works, if you can find real copper pennies.
The went fake @ 1980.
My granny kept snails out of pots with pennies.
The acid in the metal burns they foot.
You can coil solid copper home electric wire around the plant lightly and that works on snails foot too.
Wood ash dusting works good to control outdoor pest too.
It works perfect, just use it very sparingly so the rain washes everything in again.
1982 actually
Hmmm, I do have a fair amount of copper wire to train bonsai. It would drive traditionalists bonkers if I extended that wire above the plant to form some weird spirals to channel the ether and spiritual whoohoo to the roots. ROFL
I have never heard of electroculture before....that's wild and I will not be trying it! :D Some of the comments surprise me - copper is just a well-known fungicide and algecide!
I use beer to catch and kill slugs, works great.
Fact. No doubt about it!
How can you NOT simply take the WEF and China's word at face value!?
Seriously though, cool, windy video
Lost me at etcetera. Found me, again, at so forth. 😅
Chicago is not windy with wind, they got the name from the fact that politicians from Chicago where known for being long winded i.e. they talked a lot and gave very long speeches and presentations. Hence, the windy city.
Im not listening to the world economic forms for anything
Plants et cetera and so forth
The WEF...?
Completely forgot to link that thank you for reminding me.

Ugh... that wind in your microphone is terribly deterring. ☹️
im sorry i wanted to like this but the wind is killing me
bruh why you didnt do the video inside
I have my high value indoor plants grounded to the earth by copper wire.
I had a 5 gallon bucket completely full of old copper pennies, and decided to plant a tomato plant in it.
The bad news is It didn't work out very well the plant died in less than a weeks time🤷.
The good news is i still had a bucket full of copper pennies 😉.
The moral of this story is sometimes it doesn't matter how much money you throw at growing a vegetable garden, sometimes the time-tested traditional way is best 🤷😉.
@flipflat4814-- next time use only a few pennies. You caused copper poisoning
Imma call bs on his number of 2-3x 1.25-1.50x is more accurate
Yes there is proof a lady posted her giant veggies from using the antenna structure
Yes! I saw that tik tok video. Her veggies were amazing!
The wind killed a lot of your audio.😕
Very annoying wind noise
Very annoying to watch on a windy day.
Bad day to video tape the wind is making it hard to hear.
I like redheads.
