Electro-Horticulture: The Secret to Faster Growth, Larger Yields & More... Using Electricity!

This is the book that started it all. Written by Electric Fertilizer founder David Wechsler and first published in 2014, *Electro-Horticulture* is the most accessible introduction to electroculture available anywhere. It bridges the gap between 19th-century agricultural electricity research — much of it forgotten — and the modern experimental gardener who wants to put electricity to work in their soil today. ## What's Inside The book covers: - **The history of electroculture** — from the earliest 18th-century wire-in-field experiments through S.A. Lemström's landmark 1904 work and into the 20th century's documented yield gains - **The science behind it** — how plants respond to electric and magnetic fields, what the atmospheric charge gradient is and why it matters, how electroosmosis drives nutrient transport - **Practical setup guides** — atmospheric collectors, soil electrode systems, copper coils, pyramid antennas, and more - **DIY experiments** — reproducible garden-scale setups you can build with inexpensive materials - **What to measure and how** — monitoring plant response, tracking yield data, interpreting results ## Who It's For *Electro-Horticulture* was written for the curious gardener, the backyard experimenter, and the small-scale farmer who suspects there's more to plant growth than NPK ratios and irrigation schedules. No electrical engineering background required — the book explains everything from first principles. If you want to understand *why* the HarvestStorm Collector and other Electric Fertilizer products work before you buy them, this book is the place to start. ## About the Author David Wechsler has been researching and practicing electroculture since the early 2000s. He is the founder of Electric Fertilizer, operator of the Sunflower+ Project field trials, and host of the Energetic Agriculture Podcast. *Electro-Horticulture* distills over a decade of personal research, experimentation, and correspondence with researchers into a single practical volume. ## Available Formats - **PDF / eBook** — instant download via Payhip - **Print** — available via Amazon and Barnes & Noble (ISBN: 978-1-7200-8333-7) - **Leanpub** — interactive digital edition with ongoing updates
