Thanks for your kind comments. Our antennas are appoximately 10 inches long for the garden, container, and houseplants and this size serves a 3 ft radius around your plant. Hope this information helps. Happy Gardening!
I'm seeing great results from my coils and antennas. I got lots of great lettuce. I grew inferior seed for some of my tomatos, and it shows. Won't do that again, but still got produce. My husband's garden is loaded with tomatos and cukes. He had the good seed. My garden is full of green beans and peppers and potatos. The beans and peppers have a second growth of flowers on them! Thanks for your info. We are blessed by it. P.S. Our lawn has never looked better! We lit that up, too. My husband is ecstatic!
I can testify that your antenna works. I have bought 14 from you. I did my own test in container and raised bed gardens. With soil, fertilizer and watering all equal the potatoes with antenna, pickles, rutabaga, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and I know I have left something out. All with an antenna was twice the size and even preventing bugs. I have two containers of rutabaga side by side. One with antenna double size of leaves and one without leaves have been eaten on. Leaves perfect on one with antenna. They just work. Maybe I can buy more in the future for next year. Thank you for making and selling these.

Always great gardening tips. I'm way behind here in NC bc of the rain and late cool weather. I finally have some yellow squash and Sweet 100s about ready. Planted Brandywine tomatoes this year but they have been slow. My garden has drowned twice and has gotten stunted, I think. Thanks for sharing.
I thank you so much for sharing the information about electro culture antennas! I made several using your design & followed directions for placement. I recently scored a whole big roll of copper wire & will be making more for sure! I grow mainly in recycled livestock mineral tubs and kiddie wading pools. I can tell you that i am very happy with the results. For once I have big onions, nice sized poblano & banana peppers, eggplants with multiple fruits, potatoes that just keep producing even in this heat wave & sweet potatoes that are just growing like weeds. My favorite is that the comfrey keeps putting on huge leaves & my Seminole pumpkins are going crazy climbing the fig tree. Thank you for blessing Danny with that mill. Blessings from NW Florida.

Hey Mickey using electroculture all over my garden this yr. Covered up with produce!!! Have more bees and birds as well. Neighbor commented its the best I've ever had. Aint magic but it makes a difference imo
Hello classicrocklover 5615, the antenna is receiving natural energy from the atmosphere to boost the plant growth. I explain more details in some of the other videos. Thank you for your question.
@@hillsmillhomestead I know the purpose of the antenna. But what is the purpose of the COIL? Does it speed up delivery of the energy? I just used straight copper wires and had good success.
@@classicrocklover5615 It's a design that I believe works the best, after researching the Tesla Coil and the Lakhovsky Coil as well as other information. Hope that helps.
Always got them pretty matters!@ Every time I see a new video I go eww Mr Mickeys got a new video!@ lol keep em coming especially if your workn in the saw mill cutting some of that beautiful wood.
We have practiced Electroculture since the 1970s with great success. Mickey has been known by the nickname "greener thumbs" since he was in high school. Due to the amazing results he was experiencing with Electroculture.
One more time about the coils-looking down from the top, the coils come up out of the ground and coil counterclockwise up into the air. Is that correct? There are so many different descriptions. Thank you-a great garden.
Hello dianejuanecounterman7126. You will be right on target if you peer into the center of the antenna and see that the copper coil runs clockwise. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching our videos. We appreciate you.

Thank you for sharing your results @LisaWilsonatRaysLazyAcres. We are so happy that you experienced great results with the Copper Coil Antenna method of Electroculture. Semper Fi
Your produce looks wonderful. I wish I could do an irrigation... I live 100% off rain water and so far I only have about 1200 gal capacity... tanks are expensive. Btw, I'm trying the copper coil thing, I'm not doing a very good job of documenting the results, but it seems to help, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your kind words, MynewTennesseeHome. Drip irrigation is invaluable. It will pay for itself in less that 2 seasons in water usage. We are grateful to have one.
Hello ssumkaer! We are still whittling away at the Electroculture Copper Coil Antennas and as expected, they are making our yields so wonderful this year! Thanks for watching our videos. We appreciate you.
What do you do for the container plants when it rains, especially when you have a heavy downpour or a storm? How do you keep them from getting too much water collected in the buckets and thus damaging the plants? Thx.
Hello chevyblueangel. The containers that we use have holes all around the bottom to drain water well. You can also use rocks in the bottom to lift roots from the bottoms of the containers to keep them from sitting in water. If your container doesnt come with holes, you can also use a drill to make holes. Always use a very loose well draining soil to prevent water logging your plants. Happy Gardening!
The Electroculture Copper Coil Antenna will produce added electrons to the soil making nutrients and good bacteria more readily available, which stimulate the health of the plant, but does not necessary speed the growth. Thanks for your questions. We appreciate you.
Hi rickplayle9748. We use a 4 ft farm fence cut every 10 squares then bound by the cut prongs. They last for ages and are very sturdy. We do recommend securing them to the ground whether by stake or Tpost because if you use Electroculture you better prepare for heavy yields that will fall over with strong winds.
Beautiful just beautiful .,I have the same buckets a friend of mine was driving around and saw that there were a bunch of landscapers doing the landscaping for a new hotel in our area and she asked what are you gonna do with those buckets ?can I have them and the man said sure they were about 30 big ones 24 inch wide ,🫑🌱🌱🌶️She didn’t even use them that much so they were stuck at her sisters, but they gave me about 10 or 12 of them. I’m using them I’m actually using two for composting. I switch it out back-and-forth. I’ve been doing it about three years now and the compost comes out very well But my plants are thriving. I also have them elevated. I’m using some bricks, old bricks helping them pick up.
Yes, deltorres2100, we love our container gardening. We are thrilled that our smaller gardens inspire everyone with Not So Big gardens to encourage them to know you do not have to have 100 acre farm to produce more than enough for you and your family and neighbors. Thanks for sharing your story with us.
I bought some of your antennas and I'm going to wait till the end of the season to give my opinion . I was just wondering. Do you like the row covers? I've heard pros And cons.
Great question junkinjodi. We LOVE the row covers. It sure saves alot of hard weed work in the garden and we pull it up at the end of the season and use it over and over again. These covers were purchased 4 or 5 years ago and you can see that they are still in pretty good shape.
My tomato fruits pollinate but then don’t grow. All my plants are the same. Frustrated for sure. I them out this fall.think it’s not enough sunlight as they are in a building with skylights and windows but not enough actual sunlight gets in. Moving them out for a fall growing.
My girl bought me that for my Easter Basket. She must LOVE me! If we have enough requests we might even have them on the website and TH-cam channel soon, so stay tuned.
Bushing out if they are full of blooms could be a good thing. We do trim dead and dieing stems from the bottom up and also "sucker" our indeterminate varieties. You may find the determinate varieties more bushy. Hope this helps.
@hillsmillhomestead we never have dying limbs. We just have super green tomatoe plants that just take over the garden. They even caged. Today, to create more room for them, I took my onions out left, and some purposely rot on the ground kept 6 for seeding. We Practice Biblical farming so we don't use fertilizer often almost Zero and no bug spray. We intentionally leave stuff to rot on the ground and in mid to late fall cut the vines 3 inches and just lay them down to rot. Than un the last mowing of the year which is 3 inches we will actually pick the grass clippings up and place then on the garden. Any camp fires ash is thrown into the garden as well. By early winter we remove some vines and COLD smoke meet for preservation. Old school knowledge lost as well. Basically everything is returned to earth and allowed to rotten.
Hello, If we have an underground wire connected to the electroculture device, what happens if the underground wire comes into contact with the irrigation water? We may be electrocuted ? Thank you !
Connecting an underground wire as you suggest is not an Electroculture method that we practice at our farm. We are aware that there are some forms somewhat similar to what you are describing. Currently our main Electroculture methods are tomato baskets, trellised fencing, ground antenna, and orchard antenna. Hope this clarifies.
My grow to list 1. Electroculture 2. A drop of 9% hydrogen peroxide in a gallon of water (apply to soil near roots not direct to leaves) 3. Classical music 4. Speak positive words to plant water and plant❤
Semper Fi Brother. I live in Clarksville TN. I might come visit you to make a purchase and hopefully learn something...but I will be a few weeks because I just had a total shoulder replacement. Your videos are very interesting.
Hello davidgadreau3339 great question. Yes, the Electroculture antenna does help reduce pests from your plants and vegetables especially slugs and snails. I have seen a reduction in aphids on my plants when using the antennas near the plants.
@@hillsmillhomestead ok because there seemed to be a lot of pest talk in the video, almost like the electroculture wasn't working? I'm glad it helps with those. I have some plans to increase my soil magnetic waves this year, lets hope for those big nutrient harvests!
There could be a simple explanation. The metal could oxidize (rust) providing micronutrients. I've never seen a scientific test of electroculture. So I have my doubts.
The metal oxidization would not be very good for your soil. When we use metal posts we add magnets. There is a peer review performed by the Department of Agriculture in 1926 that can be found in the library of congress as one example of experimental studies done on Electroculture. Thanks for watching. We appreciate that you are giving much thought to the "how does that work" of Electroculture.
@hillsmillhomestead if it's electric stimulation that causes it, I want to know what frequency, what current level, what time period, etc. And in the soil what moisture content, mineral content, etc. You should be able to repeat this experiment in a controlled way. What I see is primarily anecdotal without scientific controls. There is certainly RF energy from afar and from Earth from transmitters. But sticking antennas into the soil will not yield the same results in different locations. And the voltage/current produced is so low it's difficult to measure. If what you are doing really works there must be an explanation. Which is what this whole claim lacks. Let's see modern day peer reviewed studies. Short of that this is just voodoo. There are just as many content creators on TH-cam who have tried this and say it doesn't work as those who say it does. That doesn't prove it doesn't work but it does seem to indicate results vary and are not reliably repeatable.
Jimmy... you're disgusting ( only kidding) i have never had tomatoes before the 4th. So,.... i guess i'll have to convert to electroculture! thanks so much. Guess i'll be converting next year! 😀😀
hello psalm91. We always think of the 4th of July as red tomato time around here. We look forward to hearing your results next year. Thanks for watching.

I've never seen a scientific test of electroculture. So I have my doubts.
The metal oxidization would not be very good for your soil. When we use metal posts we add magnets. There is a peer review performed by the Department of Agriculture in 1926 that can be found in the library of congress as one example of experimental studies done on Electroculture. Thanks for watching. We appreciate that you are giving much thought to the "how does that work" of Electroculture.
@hillsmillhomestead if it's electric stimulation that causes it, I want to know what frequency, what current level, what time period, etc. And in the soil what moisture content, mineral content, etc.
You should be able to repeat this experiment in a controlled way. What I see is primarily anecdotal without scientific controls.
There is certainly RF energy from afar and from Earth from transmitters. But sticking antennas into the soil will not yield the same results in different locations. And the voltage/current produced is so low it's difficult to measure.
If what you are doing really works there must be an explanation. Which is what this whole claim lacks. Let's see modern day peer reviewed studies. Short of that this is just voodoo.
There are just as many content creators on TH-cam who have tried this and say it doesn't work as those who say it does. That doesn't prove it doesn't work but it does seem to indicate results vary and are not reliably repeatable.
Jimmy... you're disgusting ( only kidding) i have never had tomatoes before the 4th. So,.... i guess i'll have to convert to electroculture! thanks so much. Guess i'll be converting next year! 😀😀
hello psalm91. We always think of the 4th of July as red tomato time around here. We look forward to hearing your results next year. Thanks for watching.
