Am curious to know what is your technique with the iron rod in relation to sunrise & sunset?
From what I understand it can be dangerous to the tree if the antenna (which is what your iron rod represents) is placed inside the tree. Though I think this is only the case if your antenna is of a similar size (or taller) than the tree. Smaller antenna won't hurt the tree but they may not do it much good either. I recommend this film if you desire a more solid understanding of this exact subject.
We have a cherry tree test going on at the moment. One has a large copper Lakovsky coil around the base described in this post alongside one which does not. There is nothing particularly wrong with the trees. Am just curious to see if the coil makes any kind of difference. We will find out in just a few weeks I would say, so please stay tuned to this community if you are interested to see the results.
Hi Sam, thanks for sharing the course on how to use antennas to increase fertility. Really helpful! And yes, I'm curious as to what your final results will look like by using the Lakosvky technique. I already subscribed to your electroculture community and I'm looking forward to your experiments.
Now back to your question: I'm not using an iron rod or an antenna, instead I'm using an iron wire with magnets at both ends. I learned this from a German ranger who is well known in the DACH electroculture community. Here's the tutorial (make sure you enable the subtitle as the video is in German) - from BaumMentor Baumpflege
The wire has to be placed max. 50 m from the tree for it to work. See how he places the wire at minute 13:26.
Many thanks for the film! Always great to see other people getting on with this in their own way. Am familiar with this technique and funnily enough I have one next to one of those cherry trees I mentioned. These days I make my own devices with beeswax & magnets. The only thing I am confused about is that you say you put magnets at both ends? I don't see the German ranger doing this and certainly this is the first time I've ever heard about that. Are you sure this is correct?
I used the magnet only on one end and to straighten the iron wire out under the ground I used small wood parts on both ends as the ranger showed it in his video. Typo above. Good catch!
Okay great! Just checking ;)
