ElectroGardening

This little item caught my eye on the Internet - so I thought this would be my mad-scientist project for my 2023 garden. It is intriguing as I know animals are sensitive to electro-magnetics. I even applied a couple of magnets to my Langstroth bee hive and had some very good honey production last year.

I've written up a "How To" for what I'm constructing and will upload it to see if there is any interest in permies for this technique. I added the materials and tools required and how I installed my first antenna - minus the wiring, which is the next step.

I'll be very interested to hear what your observations are with this.

Jesse, I feel you are on the right track.

Magnetic field (MF) therapy for plants and animals has been found to be an effective and emerging tool to control diseases and increase tolerance against the adverse environment.

Intriguing! Ohhh do tell us more.

Well Sena, this is just the beginning. I have 3 more antennas to make and install - and then all of the wiring which will take a LOT of time, but, I will try and take photos as I go to let you know how it is progressing.

I don't keep records on weights of produce from the garden as I'm too busy watering, weeding, and canning but according to Internet statements made this ElectroGardening makes a big difference in plants' production.

YES, I agree, and I think my bees do too! I mounted a good sized round magnet on both the front and back (North & South sides) of my Langstroth hive very early last year and it seemed to help with the honey production.

And, it isn't just the magnetic forces either. I remember that many years ago when our radio went on the fritz that our milk production reduced very noticeably as we had a 400 gal. milk tank and we measured the reduction by that. My father finally got the message and bought another radio for the milking parlor and the production went back up!
