Electroculture
Four antennas for vegetable patch, border or pot. Solid copper throughout.
Electroculture is a gardening tradition going back to the eighteenth century, when Abbé Nollet described in 1749 what happened to seeds near an electrical charge. The story of that tradition and what has been published about it since is in electroculture.
Our set is four antennas of fully solid copper, available in 30 or 60 centimetres. No wooden core: the rod itself is copper too. The short size is meant for pots and planters, the long one for borders and the vegetable garden.
You push them upright into the soil beside the plants you want to start with, ideally a few spread across the bed. How deep, how far apart and which way round is in placing the antennas. Copper stands up to the weather outdoors and takes on a green patina by itself; that is normal and does not need polishing off.

Both are the same copper spiral, just longer or shorter. The length decides how deep it sits and how much copper rises above the ground.

If you garden mostly in pots and planters on a balcony or terrace, 30 cm is the size. If you are in open ground, a border or the greenhouse, 60 cm gives more purchase. Both sizes come with the electroculture antennas.
How to place and align them is in placing electroculture antennas, and where the tradition comes from is in electroculture, a centuries-old gardening tradition.
