My dad told me that his dad grew wonderful vegies by first running a small electrical current through the seeds.

He did explain something about a battery circuit and a spoon wired up to it which was passed across the seeds.

Does anyone have any info in regard to this and if so how do you actully do it?

I’ve never heard of this, but you could try the ABC’s science forum or the Gardening Express forum.

To prevent “spam-bot-ism” I haven’t posted any URLs, but try SSSF in Google for the ABC’s Science forum (warning: it’s lively over there!) and of course, “Gardening Express forum”.

If you are not a member of the ABC Forums group yet, your post will be pre-moderated and take a couple of days to show, so you might have to “bump” it when it does show because they get through topics a mile a minute over there….

Gardening Express is a very prompt registration.

Thanks Dinetta

Hi Crinkle, whilst I do not doubt that your father did grow wonderful vegies using electro-therapy, I do know of many a fine gardener who grew wonderful battery-free vegies…
