Copper works best and is the most efficient. The first time I tried electroculture, I used electroculture on 2 tomato plants, 1 Tami G grape tomato and one lemon boy tomato plant. The two electro culture plants produced flowers and fruit first and grew to 17’7” and 19’3” long. All my other tomatoes grew the usual 10’-12’. It does work!! I use copper coil antennas, which function based on Aether theory and principles of electrostatics, literally harnessing the available energy in the air all around us everyday. “If you want to understand the world, think in terms of frequency, energy, and vibration!” - Nicola Tesla
Greetings Auditing Reality. Thank you for sharing your experience with Electroculture. I've been trying to get the word out to gardeners for a long time and when I mention Electroculture most look at me like I've grown a third eye or something. It is not a new practice. I learned about it in the 70's from reading an organic gardening book and I've practiced it a long while. I really enjoyed how you detailed your experience and it is clear to me that you understand the theory and principles involved in the practice. I sincerely appreciate your comment. Thank you for your interest in our channel. - Mickey and Kathy P.S.Check out our video on the copper coil antennas we used for raised beds and containers. I believe you will enjoy it.
Микки и Кэти, я восхищена атмосферой любви ,заботы,которая живёт в вас и насыщает всё окружающее пространство вокруг. Вы покорили моё сердце своим теплом. Как у вас всё продуманно ,аккуратно плодовито, изобильно! С Любовью из Сибири!!!
@user-nk9qj3dg1j Привет, друг-садовод. Спасибо за ваш добрый комментарий. Мы очень рады, что вам понравилось наше видео. Большая любовь из США. Hello Gardening Friend. Thank you for your kind comment. We are very happy that you enjoyed our video. Much love from USA
If you can get your antenna high enough you’ll draw energy from the ether consistently, feeding the plants all season long. No electrical storms required.
could you hint me to some more info on that please? (books, videos, websites) I got some bits and pieces, and a French book downloaded, but not much in English.
Mr Mickey Thank You so much. Mr Danny sent me over. I have been researching alot the last few months on copper and electro culture. Viktor Schauberger had created a beautiful copper plow back in the day, and of course the govt sealed the design for 50 years and told the people they would grow TOOO much food using copper. Thanks again for laying out the who what where and when of bringing back some of these techniques our ancestors used forever and a day ago. Blessings
Thank you for your comment and observations on the benefits of copper in the garden. It is definately not a new concept. I learned about it when I was a youngster reading an organic gardening book from my grandmothers bookshelf and have had much success with Electroculture gardening ever since. Here's to your garden successes too! Thanks for watching and subscribing to Hill's Mill Homestead. We appreciate you.
We listened to you and Danny mention the electroculture so I wanted to come over and see what your doing. I always noticed how much bigger and better our plants look after a storm. Didn't connect that it was the electricity in the air, I always thought it was just because the plants were getting a good soak from natural raining. 🤷♀️ Very interesting, thanks 💝
The real reason, is that energy from lightning breaks the bonds of the Nitrogen molecules in our atmosphere (Earth's atmosphere is 78% Nitrogen). These loose Nitrogen atoms immediately bond to Oxygen to create Nitrogen Dioxide. This is collected by rainwater as it falls and is dissolved into the water, converting to Nitric Acid, and other Nitrates. These Nitrates serve as fertilizer for plants.
I thumbes up yall because of the feeling yall gave me in relation to the awesome love and friendship the two of you seem to share for one another.. truly a blessing. I . N . V . U .!!!
I have been growing vegetables for 3 years and I cannot believe how cheaply vegetables are sold in the store. My tomatoes and cucumbers would be going for a small fortune for the challenges and effort. Gardening is very rewarding and worth while. The gardeners in this video, it isn’t their first rodeo that is for sure. I have a lot to learn. Thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge.
Hello STOTS. The added benefit of gardening is that you can step outside of your door and have a fresh homegrown vegetable with confidence in knowing where and how it was grown, and whether pesticides or harsh chemicals were used and who handled it along the way to your table. It is definately challenging to grow your own but we agree, worth while and rewarding for your efforts. HAPPY GARDENING!
So glad I found this channel. I needed a new gardening/homestead channel since we lost our precious Old Alabama Gardener. I love that you guys are in my same zone like he was.
Hello Child of God. (What a privilege to be one) We are so glad you found our channel. We loved Old Alabama Gardener also and sure miss watching his videos. Thank you for watching and subscribing and we look forward to hearing from you on our future videos. Happy Gardening!
Hello Kimberly Hughes. Thanks for coming over! I humbly cant live up to Danny's high account, but we sure love the results we receive as we practice Electroculture in our gardens every year. Would not ever garden without it by choice. Thank you. We appreciate you.
Hi Kathy & Mickey 💞 I watched Danny's ghrist mill stone video around Father's Day and was so touched by the love between y'all. My dad has been gone 18 years yesterday and that video really meant a lot to me. So I came on over and ordered 4 of your antennas and can hardly wait to get them!!! 🤗 I also ordered a humble spool of copper wire. Thank you both for all you do to help us. I can hear my daddy saying ... copper ... humm ... worth a try, with his raised eyebrows and half a smile and you just knew he was thinking, that's my girl. Love you guys 🩷 Happy 4th of July.
It makes us humbly HAPPY to have wonderful people like you to reflect on good memories by watching channels like ours and like minded folks like @DeepSouthHomestead. That is the very best we can ever hope for. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful story with us.
Hay I watch Danny and Wanda on on there you tub show love them guys I all so see you on there show bring there wood love both you guys. And them keep it up from steve c from state of Oregon be good God bless you guys love to be on your show

Hello Shannon Kelley. Thanks for visiting us today. We hope that you will find something useful for your garden or homestead in our videos. Happy Gardening!
I have noticed that my tomatoes and peppers liked the cages.... I just thought they liked the little "houses" around them and it took weight stress off.
Saw you on Deep South and came to check you out. Electroculture is interesting, maybe that's why our cucumbers were insanely productive this year, we trellised with a roll of concrete wire we found in our property from the previous owner!
Vanessa Homesteads! That is awesome. My first experience with electroculture gardening was similar with a wire tomato cage and a hill of cucumbers planted, more that 40 years ago. I hope you continue with the success in your garden as we have, now that you see how great it works. Happy gardening!
Danny (Deep South Homestead) mentioned you today. I had never heard of this gardening system. I do use the metal cages so I’m halfway there. Subscribing and I’ll be binge watching your play list.
Hello Betty Pierce. Thank you for watching and subscribing to our channel and here's to much success in your garden this year and years to come. Happy Gardening!
Awe we just love your videos Mr. Mickey and seeing your sweet love there with you was so nice! My husband and I send our love to you both and we enjoy your videos! They are filled with such wonderful tips & info! Have a blessed day my friend! 😉❤🌷
Thank you and your husband for watching our video, Candessa. We have much love and fun together trying to share with others what might be helpful in their gardens and homesteads.

Thanks for sharing I just started ElectoCulture gardening been making all types of Copper Antennas for my gardens n even my houseplants. Great video n subscribed after stumbling upon your channel God is so good 🙏 🇺🇸 🍅 👍
Hello Patricia Serdahl. We are so glad to hear that you are giving Electroculture a try. We hope that you find how amazing it is once you begin to practice Electroculture. Thanks for watching and subscribing to our channel. God bless you.
Interesting. I've been doing tomatoes with overhead trellis and hang the lines. So much more efficient than fighting pruning through the wire cages. Can do a row in just minutes not fumbling through the wire supports.
Hello Mr Push, You're exactly right, I have grown tomatoes in a double row staggered 1ft square soil and used the twine and clips, they work great. I'll have another video out this year with that method as well as others. Thanks for watching and your comment.
Thank you Mr mickey your garden is looking amazing I'm from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 I use t posts in my garden all the time I didn't know about the electrical from the lighting
Hello Canadian friend! We are happy to see you hanging out with us from so far away. It sounds like you may be experiencing some electro-culture in your own garden. Hoping you find the video helpful and that your harvest is bountiful this year!
Where I live, thunderstorms are rare. I have always noticed that the plants love thunderstorms. I used to live where thunderstorms were frequent and I miss them. I love the smell in the air after a thunderstorm. My father-in-law used concrete reinforcement wire to build tomato cages more than 30 years ago. He has since passed, but we still use those cages. They work much better than the storebought ones.
Hello Sparrow Garden. We agree! The new cages are no comparison to what you can make with fencing or wire, as you know. Thanks for coming to visit us today. We appreciate your knowledgable comment.
I'm in awe of this content. I read a book with a similar theme, and it was truly awe-inspiring. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint
I'm in my 70's. I found when it gets to late May to put a shade cloth over the Tomatoes for the rest of the Summer, and early Fall. The tomatoes will not wilt down during the heat of the day. I have tomatoes all the way into late Sept.
70 years and still gardening and much wisdom to share, Charles Coker. Thank you for a fantastic tip for the Southern Gardener and thanks for watching and subscribing to our channel. We appreciate living libraries like you with much to share. Happy Gardening!
New to your channel. I will try this method. Your garden looks so healthy. I have been gardening for over 2 years and still learning I have a small backyard .thank you for sharing your beautiful garden
Thank you Gail Williams for subscribing to our channel. That's awesome you are growing a garden, experience is the best teacher. If you can, use farm fence cages I have discovered that is the best way for growing tomatoes. Cucumbers gowing on a metal trellis works very well also.
Hello Aileen Lockhart. We sure appreciate you taking the time to visit our channel. Hoping you can find the information useful at your homestead/garden. Blessings to you also!
Hello WideCutSawMill. Thank you for subscribing and we appreciate your comments also. We found building these cages are far more sturdy than the typical cage and usually alot less expensive. Heres to a good year of gardening, and for your Sawmill as well, for you and yours... Blessings all around!
I just became aware of electroculture gardening and reviewing your channel. I live, work and garden in deep south Texas so summer heat and drought is something I contend with often. But we get some good storms and our gardens have some metal in them similar to yours. Lightning produces nitrogen.
Well arent you guys the cutest. Great info and video. I didnt know thats what i was doing by using t-post's and cattle panels for my tomatoes. We get a lot of rain in the PNW but not as much lightning as you guys in the south. Your garden is beautiful. I have a smaller garden space so i plant pretty close and all my tomatoes and peppers dont seem to mind lol. Happy gardening you two and have a blessed weekend!
So working on the pipelines we've noticed where a pipeline has been laid, the weeds/grass grow 2-3X as tall as other areas on the same land. Now most pipelines are metal and they push a Cathodic protection current through the soil into the pipe. Depending on the method, this could be rather low voltage at the rectifier and will be low current to maintain a voltage of more than .085 -Vdc at the pipe to a max of 2.8 -Vdc at the pipe. Some older setups used deep anode wells so the voltage going into the wells can be very high pulsating DC from the rectifier to get good coverage to the pipeline.
That is a great observation, SSE! Looks like you have already put 2 and 2 together (or .085 and 2.8 together, LOL) It works for us. Read about it decades ago and liked the results for our garden so we will keep on using the method for our own success. Just like your pipeline, notice how along a fence row the grass, trees, etc. grow much taller and faster? Thats the power of ELECTROCULTURE! Thanks for your comment and for watching our channel. We appreciate you.
@@hillsmillhomestead here is a wild idea: What if I took an old solar panel from my fountain, cut the end of the electrical cord and stuck it in the ground? I’d imagine the electrical charge from the small solar panel would have some kind of electro culture effect on the soil?
@@mistereearly1141 That sounds logical, Mistere, but that is a method that I have not tried. It might be a great idea to try in a container and see what kind of results you get. Keep us posted. We would love to hear if it works for you.
I subscribed because I saw you at Deep South Homestead. I love Danny and Wanda. I did not know you grew a garden. Your garden is beautiful and I really like all the information you give for growing a garden. Thank You.
Hello Vickie Boudwin. Thanks for visiting us today. We sure hope you can take some information from our videos and use it in your own homestead/gardening practices. Happy Homesteading!
I recognize you from a D-What video. DWhat? Dan &Wanda of Hattiesburg,MS! I know they’re NOT right in the middle of town. Gettin’ to The point, I admire you drove from 300 miles north. Mebbe Myrtle,MS, just where you are is your biz, but again a’thumbs up👍 for taking wood a long distance to their place.
Hello Steve Gally! Well, actually we drove the lumber from our custom lumber mill, Hill's Mill just outside of Nashville, Tennessee. On our first trip, Mapquest was a big LIAR and advised us it was just a couple hours from here. 8 hours and 450 miles later we arrived at Deep South Homestead LOL. But we are lucky now to call Danny and Wanda dear friends. Thanks for watching and subscribing. We sure appreciate you!
Thank you sir for making this video. Now I understand why my tomato’s haven’t produced. Zone 8b has had weeks above 95f. I live in north Florida and we have been getting lots of lighting, I bet if I setup my garden with your electo-culture method I will get lots of tomatoes next year. ☺️God bless y’all.
Yes, hot weather is tough on all vegetables, PsycoPlantLady. The electro-culture works for us, heres to your fall garden or next growing season. Lots of luck to you. Thanks for watching our video!
@@ruffdad1 Hello Ruffdad1. I definately agree, soil and ambient temperatures have significant affect on all plants. Thanks for your comment and for watching and subscribing.
Thank you for explaining electro culture. I now understand it better. I practice this as well. Do you think it benefits people as well, I may set out during. Storms more.
I believe anything that comes from the Good Lord naturally, must be good for us!! Wouldn't hurt to try, just don't hold the metal rods! You might put your own UA-cam video up if you try that at home!
Thank you for the video very helpful, I also suggest you use copper instead of steel or iron, and also make it as long as possible, so the metal harness the Aetheric energy much better. Who knows you could break the world record for how big these plants can get 🥇❤️
Thank you for your wonderful comment. The next time I come across a spool of copper "free", I will give it a try and make some connections. We are are always willing to try additional methods to see how well they produce results.
Thank you for your kind comment Coastal Redwood Homestead. The type of ground cover that I use in that video is a woven mesh that I purchased from Grower's Solution. I have used it through at least three seasons now so I have been pleased with it. You do have to torch multiple holes for your plant or seed in the fabric. I use a single canister propane torch that I purchased from a big box store for that. Good luck and happy gardening!
Hello Lisa W108. There is much to learn but easy enough to get started in the right direction. Good luck to you and thanks for watching and subscribing. We appreciate you.
Hello Mr. Mickey. I am researching the benefits of electroculture. I live in S.E. Louisiana. I came across your video today via Danny & Wanda's taste test video on electoculture tomatoes. I have a few questions: That rod you show, is it just one rod for the whole row of tomato cages that are joined together with wire? Is that rod copper or is it just rusted? My husband has the same tomato cages as you do and we use them for many things. They sure are a lot nicer than the wimpy ones all the shops sell! Thank you for responding. Happy gardening!
Hello @deeleb5064. That is a great question. The metal electric fence post is being used (with magnets) as one method of electroculture that we practice here on the homestead, but it also has a second purpose, assisting in holding up the tomato plants that buckle under the weight of the heavy tomato yields. If you do not have a rod with the basket attached to it, the cages will fall over with the slightest wind. Thanks for watching. We appreciate you.
Im pointing copper spirals towards magnetic north 30 sample with 3 zinc spirals pointed towards magnetic south with a sheath in between with sticker sensors tied to my bedframe while i sleep. Think of counterclock wise on mag south. Im 7.7 neg west.
Refined Hayseed Appalachian...we love like minded individuals! Sounds like you have been practicing Electroculture for a while! Thanks for your comment. We appreciate you.
So, my cattle panels which we bent to make those tall arches are a way of making an electroculture antennae? Very cool, I didn't know. 😊 They are also held in place by metal t-posts. Thank you for your video and I want to learn more about electroculture now.
Thank you Lee Ann, yes the cattle panels work great for Electro-Culture. Use metal clips or wire to attatch the post to the panel. Bonus is no bending over to pick and shade.
We have been doing this and did not even realize this. I love being out in rain and storms. It makes me feel so much better are words. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Wildchild23. Many practice Electroculture without realizing it. Then when they hone in on their Electroculture skills they are amazed at the results. Thanks for watching and subscribing. We appreciate your comment.
Thanks for joining us Gardening Warrier Q. We hope you can take some information from our videos and use it in your own practice to improve your garden or homestead. Thanks for watching. We appreciate you.
Hello Harold Almand. We have an irrigation drip system set up for watering at the holes we have burnt in the landscape mat for each plant, and on the front end of the irrigation, we can add liquid fertilizer if needed. Thanks for watching and subscribing to our channel. We appreciate you!
If I have blueberries in a chicken wire cage, could I run copper wire in several places between the ground and the cage? Does that create the current flow and would that benefit plants?
Hi Tooshie G. In our blueberries, we simply add an Electroculture 100% copper coil antenna about 6-10" from the base of the bush. Hope this helps! Thanks for your great question.
Enjoyed the vid, i have a question, the plants that dont have trellis for them to touch to be "energized" when lightning storms etc happen, can a person simply put rebar in the 4 corners of a rectangular garden with copper wire buried underneath the plants or could a person simply lay the copper on top of the dirt and zig zag it? HAHAHA, trying to wrap my head around the different functionality of the different setups. thanks in advance.
There are a few different methods to Electro-Culture, any metal or copper in the ground will energize nutrients in the soil but plants will really benefit with cages or trellis.
SO, do you use any kind of metal wire to connect the baskets/cages, and any kind of metal for the post at only one end of each row?? Thanks, this was a pleasure to watch.
We use electric fence rods at every other basket. Each basket is tied to the metal rod with metal tie wire and then tied to the adjacent basket. Thanks for watching our channel. We appreciate your comments.
You are correct M Bennet in your observation. The Electric fence rods are rebar and that is the best thing we could come up (economically speaking) to hold up the heavy baskets, (even heavier as fruits appear) Thanks for watching and for your comment. We appreciate you.
We purchase all of our tomato plants as seedling or bedding plants from the local Amish/Mennonite community. They are far less expensive than the big box stores. Thanks for your question Doyle Markham.

I wish you were closer. I have 2 black walnut slabs that were cut from a tree that was at least 60 years old(my age) lol. I would love for you to mill them for my brother and myself as the tree was part of the old family homeplace.
Hello Bobbi Duval. Mickey is referencing baskets/cages that he built for the tomatoes to grow in. These were made from farm fence custom cut to fit, encircled around each tomato plant. This form of Electroculture is different from the copper coil antenna method he uses in his container and raised bed gardens. Thanks for your questions. We appreciate you.
Such high-quality content! I recently enjoyed a similar book, and it was a real game-changer. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint
Found your video thru Deep South Homestead. I’ve got some pitiful tomato plants that I’m anxious to try this with. I haven’t finished this video yet, so you may answer this, but I have raised beds due to the major crop of rocks that we grow here in the ozarks. Would you put the rod in the raised bed (where it won’t go into the actual ground) or in the ground next to the raised bed?
Love Love Love @DeepSouthHomestead!! Missouri Broad, that is a great question! Tennessee is bedrock with about 4-6 inches of red clay.LOL. Electroculture works for us but know, we have spent much time getting our soil and growing medium in the right condition for the crop we are targeting. So the point is, your foundation, which is your soil, will be the key to your success overall. Electroculture practices will just enhance what is already in your soil.
Hello incorectulpolitic we like how you think, but we do not believe it would work with wheat like that. Electroculture makes a plant healthier, by making nutrients and good bacteria more available in the soil, thus increasing your crop yield and reduction in pest.
Hello Carrie at Fat Cat Farm, yes you have it set up perfect. It will capture energy from the lightning transfering electrons in the soil boosting microorganisms that will help plant growth and yields. Thank you for watching and subscribing.
That is a great question, Hawg Dawg. There are many methods of Electroculture. In this video this Electroculture method harnesses electric energy from lightening. Mickey demonstrates in other videos a method using 12 guage bare copper wire to harness natural electricity from the atmosphere. We would love nothing more than to spark your interest and stimulate your intellect into doing some exploring of all of the Electroculture methods out there. Remember, Electroculture has been around since the days of the pyramids, with writings on the subject dating back all the way to the 1700s. It is definately not a new practice but one we have used for decades in our gardens and containers and we have been well pleased with the results.
You can extend the capability of the copper coil antenna by placing the antenna at the top of a 6ft wooden stake, then making contact with the soil by running 12 guage copper from 2-4" deep in the soil, up clockwise around the stake, and connect to the coil. This will increase your radius of coverage 20-30'.
I just found your channel while looking for anything on electroculture. One question I have is have you or anyone you've heard of used this in a greenhouse? I subbed here partway into the video.
Yes, Pokey Puppy, not only will it work in your greenhouse, but with proper methods, will also benefit indoor house plants. Thanks for watching and subscribing and stay tuned to our channel for future videos on Electroculture.
Hello Elizabeth Rose. We currently do not have potatoes in the ground here in Tennessee, mostly because the ground surface temperatures are too cold right now. However, just this evening, I did create "chits" with several "sprouting" potatoes to "scab" over for planting. We will keep them in a dry dark place while they are scabbing over and then hopefully place in the ground a few weeks before last frost date (zone 7b 4/15/23). We appreciate you watching our channel and a huge thank you for subscribing. Happy Gardening!
Greetings Attila Vicen. We have experienced 10 percent plus after a good thunderstorm. Just for additional information, if you line up your baskets in a north south direction you can increase your yields by even more. We have experienced much increase in yields, however, in our area we have multiple thunderstorms per growing season. Thanks for watching and subscribing to our channel. We appreciate you.
@@hillsmillhomestead I know people who really iinto agriculture. They growing on 1000 acers and others with serius aeroponics on thousands of square meters, and if they not useing any method like that, than why should i do? I mean if its really doing something these people applie this method 100 years ago. These people making serius amont of money, and if there is any better method to get more crop, they will know alredy all of that. Plants could be make fun from the gardener sometimes. I dont know where you living, but some places have lack of copper in the soil. Im living in Hungary (East Europe), and we have average lack of potassium in our soil everywhere. So all the fertilizers in my country what you can buy is potassium boosted. If there is a soil with lack of copper, than if you put copper wires in the soil or throught the plant steam ect. It will eliminate the copper deficency. So thats why you see your plants growing faster. Copper is a really esential element. Secondly after a thunderstorm, every plant makeing extra growth. Good humidity, the growing media is fully soaked ect extra nitrogen from the storm. And when the lighning happens in the air on high altitude, the high voltage, breaking the air molecules,, and elemental nitrogen arises. Than the falling rain water washes out the nitrogen, than falling on ground washing into the soil. A storm could bring dust as well, dust contains essential elements too like phosrphorus. Amazonian forest is fertilized with the African Sahara dust. Every dust contains elements for plants.
I sincerely enjoyed your comment Attila Vicen. I appreciate you sharing what you have experienced in your country. In the early Twentieth Century (1920s-50s) there were studies conducted in Europe to explore the use of Electroculture in practical horticulture use and was proven a successful practice. However, the BIG CHEM corporations supressed the results because if Joe Farmer could grow things well on his own, it would surely eat into their profits. As you can see, we do not have 1000 acres and using copper in that environment would be cost prohitive here in the U.S., but in our small growing environment it works well for us. We sure appreciate you sharing your knowlege with us. Thank you for watching and subscribing.
When I was in the Mediterranean, I dont recall seeing lightening either!!! But I did notice there was very healthy plant growth benefiting from both the weather and rich soil. Thanks for watching and subscribing. We appreciate your comment.
I've been really wondering if the effects of electricity on the nitrogen locked in the soil is the working factor in electroculture, as lightning strike sites cause fungal growth to accelerate, and fungi break down detritus to make nutrients absorbable by plants.
Hello Lydia Morgan, I believe there are multiple benefits from different methods of ElectroCulture. There have been proven studies of plant growth and yields 30% and more. Thank you for watching and subscribing.
Brianramsey, there are many videos out with comparisons. We never set out to prove anything to anyone about Electroculture, what we have practiced for decades with great success in our gardens. We merely set out to share with like minded gardeners options that they should consider in growing a successful garden.
Thanks chrispataky for your comment. There are several different methods for Electroculture, using the fence as cages is also beneficial for adding zinc to the soil. The copper coil antenna I make can also be added to the plant for improving growth. You can find more information on my website at Hillsmill.com.
Hello Wendy C, thanks for watching and your comment. I use liquid nitrate in my tank that's inline with the drip system. I use 2 ounces on a 4 hour rate usually.
@@wendyc.5769 I haven't made a video about the drip system because I'm working with another company at this time to give everyone info where I will order my supplies. For many decades I have used the Amish community in Kentucky for supplies but I have learned they don't care to much for advertising, lol. I will be doing a detailed video on my irragation system very soon. Hope that answered your question.
@@hillsmillhomestead yes sir! I look forward to the video. I’ve been using AgroThrive. I really like it but because it’s organic it takes a little bit for the roots to uptake. However, there is no stomach irritation. Your stomach won’t inflate like when you use commercial fertilizers
So, the reason electroculture can work is that some bacteria in the soil use electron flow for their growth and replication cycle. The bacteria are seeking out the electrons, often accumulating on your rods.
Thanks for your comment XONIKZ. I really appreciate your explanation and I believe its very helpful in understanding the dynamics of how electroculture, and its various methods, work.
Originally saw you on deepsouthhomestead. Glad to see your on youtube. Do you need a metal rod on every plant, or to just use one or two on either end -making sure all cages are touching each other? And where would I find these stakes? Are they expensive?
Hello Sandi Helman, thank you for watching and subscribing. I use the electric fence post that are made of rebar, I bought them at my local CoOp for about 1.50 each. I use one every other basket and the baskets are linked together with a metal wire. The baskets will blow over when the plant fills the basket if it's not secured.
All the research I have done about electric gardening it’s all about the copper wire not steel copper is the best thing that helps keep the bugs away as well
I agree David about the copper, it is better than steel however it's very expensive to add baskets, etc. made from copper. With all the energy from lightning, using wire baskets will help the growth of plants. Most wire fence rows grow so rapidly they get out of control.
Copper works best and is the most efficient. The first time I tried electroculture, I used electroculture on 2 tomato plants, 1 Tami G grape tomato and one lemon boy tomato plant. The two electro culture plants produced flowers and fruit first and grew to 17’7” and 19’3” long. All my other tomatoes grew the usual 10’-12’. It does work!!

If you can get your antenna high enough you’ll draw energy from the ether consistently, feeding the plants all season long. No electrical storms required.
Yea from what I’ve seen there are blueprints online on some different systems
@@afj713 could you provide some key terms to aid the search process? Or possibly sites you'd recc. I can do most the digging myself!
could you hint me to some more info on that please?

Mr Mickey Thank You so much. Mr Danny sent me over. I have been researching alot the last few months on copper and electro culture. Viktor Schauberger had created a beautiful copper plow back in the day, and of course the govt sealed the design for 50 years and told the people they would grow TOOO much food using copper. Thanks again for laying out the who what where and when of bringing back some of these techniques our ancestors used forever and a day ago. Blessings
Thank you for your comment and observations on the benefits of copper in the garden. It is definately not a new concept. I learned about it when I was a youngster reading an organic gardening book from my grandmothers bookshelf and have had much success with Electroculture gardening ever since. Here's to your garden successes too! Thanks for watching and subscribing to Hill's Mill Homestead. We appreciate you.
Oh yes, the government kept us from using a copper plow.... ahahahahaha...
We listened to you and Danny mention the electroculture so I wanted to come over and see what your doing. I always noticed how much bigger and better our plants look after a storm. Didn't connect that it was the electricity in the air, I always thought it was just because the plants were getting a good soak from natural raining. 🤷♀️ Very interesting, thanks 💝
Hello abcxyz. It works for us. Thanks for watching and subscribing. We appreciate you.
Its the nitrogen in the rainwater .
The real reason, is that energy from lightning breaks the bonds of the Nitrogen molecules in our atmosphere (Earth's atmosphere is 78% Nitrogen). These loose Nitrogen atoms immediately bond to Oxygen to create Nitrogen Dioxide. This is collected by rainwater as it falls and is dissolved into the water, converting to Nitric Acid, and other Nitrates. These Nitrates serve as fertilizer for plants.
I like the doggy!

I have been growing vegetables for 3 years and I cannot believe how cheaply vegetables are sold in the store.
My tomatoes and cucumbers would be going for a small fortune for the challenges and effort. Gardening is very rewarding and worth while. The gardeners in this video, it isn’t their first rodeo that is for sure. I have a lot to learn.
Thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge.
Hello STOTS. The added benefit of gardening is that you can step outside of your door and have a fresh homegrown vegetable with confidence in knowing where and how it was grown, and whether pesticides or harsh chemicals were used and who handled it along the way to your table. It is definately challenging to grow your own but we agree, worth while and rewarding for your efforts. HAPPY GARDENING!

Thank you Victorious Clinton, Electroculture is another method for gardening and it does help give the plants and vegetables a boost.
Interesting video good information great job
Thank you Joe Harrison, the garden has grown well this year.
Hi Kathy & Mickey 💞 I watched Danny's ghrist mill stone video around Father's Day and was so touched by the love between y'all. My dad has been gone 18 years yesterday and that video really meant a lot to me. So I came on over and ordered 4 of your antennas and can hardly wait to get them!!! 🤗 I also ordered a humble spool of copper wire. Thank you both for all you do to help us. I can hear my daddy saying ... copper ... humm ... worth a try, with his raised eyebrows and half a smile and you just knew he was thinking, that's my girl. Love you guys 🩷 Happy 4th of July.

JJ Willow, we like the way you think! Thanks for your comment. We appreciate you.
Saw you on Deep South and came to check you out. Electroculture is interesting, maybe that's why our cucumbers were insanely productive this year, we trellised with a roll of concrete wire we found in our property from the previous owner!
Vanessa Homesteads! That is awesome. My first experience with electroculture gardening was similar with a wire tomato cage and a hill of cucumbers planted, more that 40 years ago. I hope you continue with the success in your garden as we have, now that you see how great it works. Happy gardening!

Interesting. I've been doing tomatoes with overhead trellis and hang the lines. So much more efficient than fighting pruning through the wire cages. Can do a row in just minutes not fumbling through the wire supports.
Hello Mr Push, You're exactly right, I have grown tomatoes in a double row staggered 1ft square soil and used the twine and clips, they work great. I'll have another video out this year with that method as well as others. Thanks for watching and your comment.
Thank you Mr mickey your garden is looking amazing I'm from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 I use t posts in my garden all the time I didn't know about the electrical from the lighting
Hello Canadian friend! We are happy to see you hanging out with us from so far away. It sounds like you may be experiencing some electro-culture in your own garden. Hoping you find the video helpful and that your harvest is bountiful this year!
Where I live, thunderstorms are rare. I have always noticed that the plants love thunderstorms. I used to live where thunderstorms were frequent and I miss them. I love the smell in the air after a thunderstorm. My father-in-law used concrete reinforcement wire to build tomato cages more than 30 years ago. He has since passed, but we still use those cages. They work much better than the storebought ones.
Hello Sparrow Garden. We agree! The new cages are no comparison to what you can make with fencing or wire, as you know. Thanks for coming to visit us today. We appreciate your knowledgable comment.

I just became aware of electroculture gardening and reviewing your channel. I live, work and garden in deep south Texas so summer heat and drought is something I contend with often. But we get some good storms and our gardens have some metal in them similar to yours. Lightning produces nitrogen.
Thanks theeconomicrevolutionist for your comment. We appreciate you.
Well arent you guys the cutest. Great info and video. I didnt know thats what i was doing by using t-post's and cattle panels for my tomatoes. We get a lot of rain in the PNW but not as much lightning as you guys in the south. Your garden is beautiful. I have a smaller garden space so i plant pretty close and all my tomatoes and peppers dont seem to mind lol. Happy gardening you two and have a blessed weekend!

Thank you so much Sasha Arr, welcome to our community.
So working on the pipelines we've noticed where a pipeline has been laid, the weeds/grass grow 2-3X as tall as other areas on the same land. Now most pipelines are metal and they push a Cathodic protection current through the soil into the pipe. Depending on the method, this could be rather low voltage at the rectifier and will be low current to maintain a voltage of more than .085 -Vdc at the pipe to a max of 2.8 -Vdc at the pipe. Some older setups used deep anode wells so the voltage going into the wells can be very high pulsating DC from the rectifier to get good coverage to the pipeline.
That is a great observation, SSE! Looks like you have already put 2 and 2 together (or .085 and 2.8 together, LOL) It works for us. Read about it decades ago and liked the results for our garden so we will keep on using the method for our own success. Just like your pipeline, notice how along a fence row the grass, trees, etc. grow much taller and faster? Thats the power of ELECTROCULTURE! Thanks for your comment and for watching our channel. We appreciate you.
@@hillsmillhomestead here is a wild idea:
What if I took an old solar panel from my fountain, cut the end of the electrical cord and stuck it in the ground?
I’d imagine the electrical charge from the small solar panel would have some kind of electro culture effect on the soil?
@@mistereearly1141 That sounds logical, Mistere, but that is a method that I have not tried. It might be a great idea to try in a container and see what kind of results you get. Keep us posted. We would love to hear if it works for you.

Thank you for your kind comment Coastal Redwood Homestead. The type of ground cover that I use in that video is a woven mesh that I purchased from Grower's Solution. I have used it through at least three seasons now so I have been pleased with it. You do have to torch multiple holes for your plant or seed in the fabric.

Hello Mr. Mickey. I am researching the benefits of electroculture. I live in S.E. Louisiana. I came across your video today via Danny & Wanda's taste test video on electoculture tomatoes. I have a few questions: That rod you show, is it just one rod for the whole row of tomato cages that are joined together with wire? Is that rod copper or is it just rusted? My husband has the same tomato cages as you do and we use them for many things. They sure are a lot nicer than the wimpy ones all the shops sell! Thank you for responding. Happy gardening!
Hello @deeleb5064. That is a great question. The metal electric fence post is being used (with magnets) as one method of electroculture that we practice here on the homestead, but it also has a second purpose, assisting in holding up the tomato plants that buckle under the weight of the heavy tomato yields. If you do not have a rod with the basket attached to it, the cages will fall over with the slightest wind. Thanks for watching. We appreciate you.

If I have blueberries in a chicken wire cage, could I run copper wire in several places between the ground and the cage? Does that create the current flow and would that benefit plants?
Hi Tooshie G. In our blueberries, we simply add an Electroculture 100% copper coil antenna about 6-10" from the base of the bush. Hope this helps! Thanks for your great question.
Enjoyed the vid, i have a question, the plants that dont have trellis for them to touch to be "energized" when lightning storms etc happen, can a person simply put rebar in the 4 corners of a rectangular garden with copper wire buried underneath the plants or could a person simply lay the copper on top of the dirt and zig zag it? HAHAHA, trying to wrap my head around the different functionality of the different setups. thanks in advance.
There are a few different methods to Electro-Culture, any metal or copper in the ground will energize nutrients in the soil but plants will really benefit with cages or trellis.

@@hillsmillhomestead Your "electric fence rods" look like concrete rebar. Are they the same thing?

What are the baskets? Holes in them for drainage?
Hello Bobbi Duval. Mickey is referencing baskets/cages that he built for the tomatoes to grow in. These were made from farm fence custom cut to fit, encircled around each tomato plant.

Found your video thru Deep South Homestead. I’ve got some pitiful tomato plants that I’m anxious to try this with. I haven’t finished this video yet, so you may answer this, but I have raised beds due to the major crop of rocks that we grow here in the ozarks. Would you put the rod in the raised bed (where it won’t go into the actual ground) or in the ground next to the raised bed?
Love Love Love @DeepSouthHomestead!! Missouri Broad, that is a great question! Tennessee is bedrock with about 4-6 inches of red clay.LOL. Electroculture works for us but know, we have spent much time getting our soil and growing medium in the right condition for the crop we are targeting. So the point is, your foundation, which is your soil, will be the key to your success overall. Electroculture practices will just enhance what is already in your soil.
@@hillsmillhomestead Thank you!
Which kind of metals can you use for electriculture ?
I use metal T Post, Electric Fence Rebar and Field Fence connected with metal tie wire. Probably copper would work best but not as easily accessable.
@@hillsmillhomestead thank you so much for responding! Very appreciated and thank you for letting us know your experience
if you used Electro culture with wheat, would the what grow faster ? meaning you could have multiple harvests per year ? like 3- 4 harvest or more ?
Hello incorectulpolitic we like how you think, but we do not believe it would work with wheat like that. Electroculture makes a plant healthier, by making nutrients and good bacteria more available in the soil, thus increasing your crop yield and reduction in pest.
My tomatoes are trellised with cattle panels, with t-post supports, and secured with baling wire. Is this enough electrical connection?
Hello Carrie at Fat Cat Farm, yes you have it set up perfect. It will capture energy from the lightning transfering electrons in the soil boosting microorganisms that will help plant growth and yields. Thank you for watching and subscribing.
How can this work if one lives in a state where there is very little lightening? Is there a way to modify the process so that it's beneficial ?
That is a great question, Hawg Dawg. There are many methods of Electroculture. In this video this Electroculture method harnesses electric energy from lightening. Mickey demonstrates in other videos a method using 12 guage bare copper wire to harness natural electricity from the atmosphere. We would love nothing more than to spark your interest and stimulate your intellect into doing some exploring of all of the Electroculture methods out there. Remember, Electroculture has been around since the days of the pyramids, with writings on the subject dating back all the way to the 1700s. It is definately not a new practice but one we have used for decades in our gardens and containers and we have been well pleased with the results.
What's the rod made of? Is it wrapped in copper? How far in the ground, how high?
You can extend the capability of the copper coil antenna by placing the antenna at the top of a 6ft wooden stake, then making contact with the soil by running 12 guage copper from 2-4" deep in the soil, up clockwise around the stake, and connect to the coil. This will increase your radius of coverage 20-30'.
Ty so very much for your informative replies😀👍❤️
I just found your channel while looking for anything on electroculture. One question I have is have you or anyone you've heard of used this in a greenhouse? I subbed here partway into the video.
Yes, Pokey Puppy, not only will it work in your greenhouse, but with proper methods, will also benefit indoor house plants. Thanks for watching and subscribing and stay tuned to our channel for future videos on Electroculture.
Do you have potatoes growing? New sub. Love the terrace on hills idea
Hello Elizabeth Rose. We currently do not have potatoes in the ground here in Tennessee, mostly because the ground surface temperatures are too cold right now. However, just this evening, I did create "chits" with several "sprouting" potatoes to "scab" over for planting. We will keep them in a dry dark place while they are scabbing over and then hopefully place in the ground a few weeks before last frost date (zone 7b 4/15/23).

Every time when lightning? Like once in a month? Thats enough stimulation? Next morning 10% more fruit?
Greetings Attila Vicen. We have experienced 10 percent plus after a good thunderstorm. Just for additional information, if you line up your baskets in a north south direction you can increase your yields by even more. We have experienced much increase in yields, however, in our area we have multiple thunderstorms per growing season. Thanks for watching and subscribing to our channel. We appreciate you.
@@hillsmillhomestead I know people who really iinto agriculture. They growing on 1000 acers and others with serius aeroponics on thousands of square meters, and if they not useing any method like that, than why should i do? I mean if its really doing something these people applie this method 100 years ago. These people making serius amont of money, and if there is any better method to get more crop, they will know alredy all of that. Plants could be make fun from the gardener sometimes. I dont know where you living, but some places have lack of copper in the soil. Im living in Hungary (East Europe), and we have average lack of potassium in our soil everywhere. So all the fertilizers in my country what you can buy is potassium boosted. If there is a soil with lack of copper, than if you put copper wires in the soil or throught the plant steam ect. It will eliminate the copper deficency. So thats why you see your plants growing faster. Copper is a really esential element. Secondly after a thunderstorm, every plant makeing extra growth. Good humidity, the growing media is fully soaked ect extra nitrogen from the storm. And when the lighning happens in the air on high altitude, the high voltage, breaking the air molecules,, and elemental nitrogen arises. Than the falling rain water washes out the nitrogen, than falling on ground washing into the soil. A storm could bring dust as well, dust contains essential elements too like phosrphorus. Amazonian forest is fertilized with the African Sahara dust. Every dust contains elements for plants.
I sincerely enjoyed your comment Attila Vicen. I appreciate you sharing what you have experienced in your country. In the early Twentieth Century (1920s-50s) there were studies conducted in Europe to explore the use of Electroculture in practical horticulture use and was proven a successful practice. However, the BIG CHEM corporations supressed the results because if Joe Farmer could grow things well on his own, it would surely eat into their profits. As you can see, we do not have 1000 acres and using copper in that environment would be cost prohitive here in the U.S., but in our small growing environment it works well for us. We sure appreciate you sharing your knowlege with us. Thank you for watching and subscribing.
On this mediterranean island we got no springs (maybe 2 or 3), lightning is only in 2 seasons
When I was in the Mediterranean, I dont recall seeing lightening either!!! But I did notice there was very healthy plant growth benefiting from both the weather and rich soil. Thanks for watching and subscribing. We appreciate your comment.
I've been really wondering if the effects of electricity on the nitrogen locked in the soil is the working factor in electroculture, as lightning strike sites cause fungal growth to accelerate, and fungi break down detritus to make nutrients absorbable by plants.
Hello Lydia Morgan, I believe there are multiple benefits from different methods of ElectroCulture. There have been proven studies of plant growth and yields 30% and more. Thank you for watching and subscribing.
Do u have any comparison videos
Brianramsey, there are many videos out with comparisons. We never set out to prove anything to anyone about Electroculture, what we have practiced for decades with great success in our gardens. We merely set out to share with like minded gardeners options that they should consider in growing a successful garden.
You would increase your yield significantly if you use copper instead of steel
Thanks chrispataky for your comment. There are several different methods for Electroculture, using the fence as cages is also beneficial for adding zinc to the soil. The copper coil antenna I make can also be added to the plant for improving growth. You can find more information on my website at Hillsmill.com.
I've learned some stuff and a few things yeah some things AND stuff
Thanks for watching slayer 1.

What fertilizer are you using in your drip irrigation? And at what rate. Thanks from coastal SE NC❤
Hello Wendy C, thanks for watching and your comment. I use liquid nitrate in my tank that's inline with the drip system. I use 2 ounces on a 4 hour rate usually.
@@hillsmillhomestead thanks Mickey. What name is that under? If you don’t mind
@@wendyc.5769 I haven't made a video about the drip system because I'm working with another company at this time to give everyone info where I will order my supplies. For many decades I have used the Amish community in Kentucky for supplies but I have learned they don't care to much for advertising, lol. I will be doing a detailed video on my irragation system very soon. Hope that answered your question.
@@hillsmillhomestead yes sir! I look forward to the video. I’ve been using AgroThrive. I really like it but because it’s organic it takes a little bit for the roots to uptake. However, there is no stomach irritation. Your stomach won’t inflate like when you use commercial fertilizers
Heard about your channel front deep south homestead
Thank you for coming over to our channel and watching and subscribing Michael Fenner. We are Deep South Homestead fans also.
So, the reason electroculture can work is that some bacteria in the soil use electron flow for their growth and replication cycle. The bacteria are seeking out the electrons, often accumulating on your rods.
Thanks for your comment XONIKZ. I really appreciate your explanation and I believe its very helpful in understanding the dynamics of how electroculture, and its various methods, work.
i love you guy's!!!!
Thank you, Mary Fairchild, for watching and subscribing. We appreciate you.
Originally saw you on deepsouthhomestead. Glad to see your on youtube. Do you need a metal rod on every plant, or to just use one or two on either end -making sure all cages are touching each other? And where would I find these stakes? Are they expensive?
Hello Sandi Helman, thank you for watching and subscribing. I use the electric fence post that are made of rebar, I bought them at my local CoOp for about 1.50 each. I use one every other basket and the baskets are linked together with a metal wire. The baskets will blow over when the plant fills the basket if it's not secured.
All the research I have done about electric gardening it’s all about the copper wire not steel copper is the best thing that helps keep the bugs away as well
I agree David about the copper, it is better than steel however it's very expensive to add baskets, etc. made from copper. With all the energy from lightning, using wire baskets will help the growth of plants. Most wire fence rows grow so rapidly they get out of control.
Use chicken wire 6 foot or higher. You will be Amazed. Ground it also 10 foot deep.
Great idea with good use of chicken wire. Thank you Emmett for your comment and for watching Hills Mill Homestead.
