History
Electric Fertilizer's research didn't start as a company — it started as one experiment. This section documents where the work began, what has changed since, and what's stayed the same. Historical significance and scientific validation are different things, and we try to keep that distinction clear throughout.
My First Experiment
The 2011 Romanesco broccoli experiment that started it all — and what it does and doesn't prove.
