Hello from an Missouri experimental gardener

[David Wechsler]

Hey everyone,

Just introducing myself here. I'm from St. Louis and really interested in experimental (yet effective) growing techniques for improving crops. For the time being, I electrify my crops with low levels of electricity but I'm also interested in using sound waves. I'm also interested in using open-source or appropriate technology in the garden. Gardening stylus-wise, I like the permaculture approach of holistic ecological system design... Cool stuff.

Looking forward to getting to know you.

You sound like a very interesting person, looking forward to hear more about your crops and how those low levels of electricity aid them.

Just seeing your post, so WELCOME! I am also in Missouri not far from the capital city. It's nice to have someone nearby who shares similar climate and soil conditions. I look forward to reading about your experiments with electrification. It seems like my gardens are experimental every year.

Hi Carolyn, Zigs... Thanks for the warm welcome...

Carolyn... What new things have you been trying out recently?

How did this ever turn out? "electrify my crops with low levels of electricity but I'm also interested in using sound waves"

My prediction is ineffective, but interesting nonetheless. 365 days of cover/rotational crops works fantastic...have you tried that?

Hello David, please post some photos, so i can see what you are talking about.

Never mind, sorry!

Bonjour, David! It was informative to learn that you electrify your crops.

Nice to meet you. I mainly have a residential lawn and garden hobby. By chance do you delve into mycology as well?
