Hi @Derwyn86, copper has all those potential positive effects on the soil, but it is also conductive of natural occurring vibrations of the earth and, can be made into an antennae to capture and transfer the vibrations (energy) into the soil. You can also use other conductive materials to make an antennae, but copper into the soil.

Hey, maybe this is what keeps grandma alive. All those copper wind chimes and copper decorations 
. Maybe thereās something to it.

They also sell coiled copper bracelets at drugstores like Shoppers Drug-mart or Rexal or whatever major drug store is in the US, I live in Canadaā¦ they are advertised to increase blood flow, help regulate other bodily functionsā¦ I canāt remember. But also the Egyptians and Aztecs wore the same around their necks and wristsā¦ along with Gold more so, as it is conductive and wonāt change skin colour

Weāre not far off that now haha. Iām in my workshop right now looking for something to fix copper wire to my dowel haha.
What did you use or did you just wrap the wire round and tuck it in somewhere?

Iām not sure this addresses your question? Maybe send a picture?
I coiled the copper wires and used pliers to pinch and twist the ends together the best I could.

ahh thanks, sorry I asked the question badly, I meant did you use like glue or tape to affix the wire but I kinda figured it out. I used some old speaker wire and just wrapped it round.
Just an fyi, although it looks like you are already on top of it. From Electroculture for Beginners
Can I use coated copper or scrap copper wire for electroculture?
Yes you can. If the wire is coated with plastic make sure to strip the ends so the bare copper can be placed into the soil.

Thanks for the link, the more resources we share, the better.
I would love to see some pics of your final product when youāre done.
Behold the absolutely outstanding levels of craftmanship here 
Super easy it took seconds really. Just need to make sure the ends are bare, and Iāve also read you want to wrap it clockwise (from bottom to top), and to place it on the north side of your plant(s) if in the northern hemisphere (and vice versa if southern).
Starting a run in the next couple days to test this against one without.
Nice job! looks like a perfect Fibonacci spiral to me 
I have no clue how to keep the coiling perfect/consistentā¦ I guess I could use a ruler to measure the distance between each wrap as I go to keep it all consistent? but what should the distance between each coil be? Maybe it doesnāt matter? 
I was thinking of making one but using a copper pipe as the staff, instead of wood? thoughts? maybe there is a reason for woodā¦ wood is an insulator and non-conductive right?
Haha not too bad for a first effortā¦ but I will not be giving up the day job just yet 
I donāt think it matters, based on what Iāve seen so farā¦ and have also seen other people using just a straight copper pipe (like as used for plumbing) shoved into the ground.
But apparently a copper wire wrapped around a wooden pole is the best. The taller the better. I think the original design was like 20ft or something, but apparently 6ft will suffice for up to 100sq ft so this should be more than enough for my purposes.

I have a 3 story house, I am considering building an antenna that starts on the roof and just keeps going down the back of the house and into the ground or figure out how to run it into my basement grow roomā¦ and tie it to the massive Copper pyramids that surround all the grow tentsā¦ LOL
It might be hard to explain during home appraisals thoughā¦ hehehe. On my last appraisal, I just made a sign to put on the grow room door that said āMomsā indoor gardenā with pictures of a Tomato, Pea and Lettuceā¦ and I also taped a picture of each vegetable on each tentā¦ the appraiser said āWow, quite the indoor garden set up, and is that what you are growing int there? (pointing at the pictures)ā I said āYup, I wouyld show you inside, but this is the wifes stuff and she said they are sleeping right now so donāt open the tents for some reason?ā LOL
I plan on making a copper pyramid soon for charging the seed, and during the germination and seedling phase. I plan on just using copper pipe and soldering the joints together. I will post pictures once I get on itā¦
Pretty decent video on building a coper pyramid, but I think I will just solder everything together. Also, based on other instructions Iāve seen, the base square and the sides are not the exact same length as shown in the video.
PYRAMID OF CHEOPS:
The proportions of the pyramid of Cheops are known and well known, studied and re-studied, but all you need to know is that the ratio between the height of the pyramid and the side of the base is equivalent to the inverse of the golden section, Ļ (āGreek phi ā) ie 0.618033. According to this ratio it is therefore necessary to multiply the base (quadrangular) by 0.952 to obtain the upright.
Example Cheops Pyramid = 4 pieces of 25 cm and 4 pieces of 23,8 cm for the classic pyramid
Example Nubian Pyramid = 4 pieces of 20 cm and 4 pieces of 32,26 cm
But here is the videoā¦

You guys have me wanting to wrap copper wire between my tent poles for my next run now. I usually have something going around the outside anyway to keep cords and stuff out of the way so simply changing the material should be easy.

If anything, you raised the value of the tent
