Name me a gardener that doesn't want healthier crops. Whether it's an abundance of tomatoes or a rose bush full of huge bright blooms, our gardening egos are immediately boosted when our plants are looking - and tasting - their best. While there are a myriad of fertilizers out there that claim to give your plants the extra nourishment they need, there's a new organic method on the block, and it's one that requires very little upkeep at all. Its name? Electro-culture gardening.
It might sound technical, but this garden trend is actually pretty simple. The method makes use of electromagnetic fields to boost soil fertility and stimulate plant growth and no, it doesn't involve any complex wiring or expensive machines. All it takes is some galvanized stakes or some wooden dowels wrapped with copper wire which are then placed into your soil. The name might sound futuristic, but it's thought to date back to the 1700s.
