From one barefooter to another..I always appreciate you baring your sole(s) for us. My record for being barefoot is 8 months with no foot cages. I'm a northern boy and used to regularly jog in below freezing temps w/o shoes, one time I danced on the ice of a frozen lake for most of an hour--fun fact for y'all in the northern climes..your feet will build a layer of fat to help withstand nippy toes. I'm and the U.S. southwest now..barefoot in the desert on 100° days with little discomfort. I love the feeling of connection to our Mother Earth..she wants to heal us, as any caretaker should. I was most appreciative of turning to this lifestyle bc it forced me to slow down from such a fast-paced world.. Plan a few steps ahead, I believe this subconsciously aids in other everyday life affairs. It adds a certain mindfulness we don't get other places. I'm into massage and believe walking on different surfaces gets us a little free reflexology. Top many people are unaware of proper foot health, and how it affects our overall well-being. Thanks Weedy, for inviting us to science with ya.
Thanx for that DYQD... I was always getting yelled at to put my shoes back on when I was a kid and now I can’t even stand It without slippers or something on my feet even in the house... since breaking my back everything hurts my feet ! And I was the chick that could run in high heels no problem.... it’s probably exactly what I need - but I can barely stand it. Strange. Nerve damage changes your perception and sensations....As a gardener I have to have my blundstones or rubber boots on for the shovel etc but this has inspired me to maybe start inching my way back into trying to make my feet less hyper sensitive, starting on my grass. Weird, I was just going to tear out my entire front lawn and turn it into gravel and xeriscape it because it’s pure sand and not built for grass -- a waste of water....and now I’m rethinking it hearing your story and so many others on this page.
My partner and I are both in our 80's and have a similar experiment going, only it is our bed. We have a wire out of the bedroom window attached to a grounding rod with a crocodile clips on the other end which we attach to our pyjama waist band. when we remember to clip it on we sleep really well if we forget it is a restless night. we have been doing this for about 5 years and are both in perfect health.
Marion, that is great that you found an inexpensive way to improve your health. When we get back to how nature wants us to live our health improves. Blessings to you and your partner.
Daaaang that is Soo cool....I don't know how I'm going to go about this, I know I probably can't afford the sheets or whatever... besides...I prefer to try to make something versus just go out and buy it... anyways thanks for the idea and for all the people chiming in with thier own ideas/ experiments 😉🤠👍💯🍻👏🌻
Love this I am a Chinese medicine practitioner and often recommend my clients to spend more time outside with no shoes on. I even have a few people who sleep outside for they say they get way better sleep.
Super cute! Once I learned about earthing, I quit wearing shoes hiking and try to only wear grounding shoes. I’ve had really profound health results with grounding. I wanted to suggest that it would also be suuuuper fascinating to look at the water from each jar under a microscope after the two weeks to see if there are any noticeable changes with the little micro critters between the grounded and ungrounded water.
Hey...James Jerms could do that!!! I´ll put a call out for him. When I did the one on this vid, there was a big difference in the water. You can actually see it on the video clearest at 1:23
@@TheWeedyGarden yea i was noticing the color shift which is what made me think of it. super cool experiment!! my partner and I will try to participate :)
I will do this with my science class! We are just about to start talking about magnetism and electricity! Plus they know I am a gardener and nature lover so this is so perfect!
David I've often noted differences when germinating seeds. The same way potted plants sitting on the ground will send roots through the drain holes into the earth, seedling trays sitting on the ground, rather than a table or shelf, will develop faster and stronger seedlings.
You are the most amazing teacher!. Thank you! ! Your videos are a real eye opener. You teach us to be aware and really connected to our planet . You remind me of Cousteau who like you taught many. Thank you again. Your videos are a blessing and we are hungry for more
God bless you my Love and thank you so much for sharing your passion and fire with us 🌈 ✨ 🚀 Permaculture, plant power and love... It's all we need 👌 And fun-guys man, always the fun-guys 🙂😉🙃😊😇🤠🌿💨
Great vid as always David, definitely going to try the no shoes approach from now on and see if I can feel any difference. One thing I will say as a Boilermaker/Welder for the last 40 odd years is you will not earth without a good clean earth cable to earth stake contact, you will not earth through rusted steel, so my advice is to use copper grounding rods/pegs, I'm sure most people have experienced battery trouble in their cars usually caused by poor terminal contact. Another thing that should be a consideration is that copper can also attain a pigment called verdigris, the green coloring often seen on copper, which will make grounding harder, Verdigris was the main reason for unexploded WW2 bombs, Verdigris contaminated copper fuse contacts that then wouldn't earth, no current = no bang. So clean metal + good cable to stake contact = great earth. The Human body is mostly made up of water which is an awesome conductor of electricity, so no need for anything other than your feet to earth out to the ground. Keep up the great work.
@@3dcrazy332 commercial grounding rods for housing should be no more than $10 some of them have a steel core to help driving it into the ground. copper-to-copper for the best results
I try to walk everywhere barefoot ( unless it’s blazing hot haha) It’s helped me a lot with my healing .. I always feel so happy being down on the ground working with the soil .. Nothing like the smell of dirt with big chunky worms :)
In my culture(Chinese), we have the saying “接地气”, means to “touch the ground” or “ down to earth”. My mom always says that plants need to be connected to the ground even when they are potted. Now I know it’s called “grounding / earthing”. Fascinating experiment by the way!
It's just like you've helped me land ,I am all over the place since covid came , this is like a reminder ; hay we can get better ,I really feel this 💯🍀
I was grounded my by parents pretty much on a monthly basis when I was growing up. One time it was for 1-month straight - apart from meals and going to school. And I have to say, I am a much better person for it. Although, I may have my "wires" crossed about the term grounded here :)
Should ask the soil scientist from Gardening In Canada youtube channel to chime in on this. Would be interesting to hear her take on this. Even better if she runs the experiment herself
Hey Weedy I've been an active gardener for over 40 years and became conscious of the therapeutic (grounding) effects of getting my hands ( and feet) into the earth about 35 years ago. There is no doubt I am healthier for it.
Hi David it’s Daniel from Portugal : quite a clever experiment to demonstrate the earthing effects. Thanks for sharing your amazing work and ideas with the world. I’m hooked. All the best mate
Hello. I love your videos and appreciate your time and effort to make them so entertaining and organic. Pun intended. As an avid hobby gardener with a pure love of our planet and her amazing abilities this video reminded me of a series of booklets I purchased way back in the 90s Jerry Baker, America’s Master Gardener (back cover) produced a series of volumes of gardening tips tricks and tonics. Specifically this reminded me of “electro Culture” that uses metal object preferably copper to “supercharge” your garden and harness the power of thunderstorms to convert oxygen to nitrogen, by placing metal stakes and stringing copper wire over the plants as well as metal stakes just around the plant, ie: tomato cage around a rose or pepper plant. He suggests using pantyhose also to stake the plants if needed for added electrostatic charge. All of which increases the fertility of the surrounding soil and benefits both the plant and your yields. It is a wonderful series and thank you for the reminder to review all before this year’s planting. Thanks for sharing the experiment.
Uncanny timing, I just slept on my grounding pad last night. You are absolutely on the right track! Thank you for this and everything you do and share, it's greatly appreciated.
Amazing!! 😍 *Wracks brain to see if she can pull an experiment off* - and signs up to financially and energetically support “The Weedy Gardener” because the value of this EDUCATION is off scale. Thank you 🙏
I don't like to walk barefoot so I bought small grounding pads and wrist attachments that I use at work and at home. When I first set the pad up to sit on, my cats all sat on it. They are mainly indoor cats so that was quite a revelation to me. They now have pads they can sleep on. And I put them outside a few times a week when the weather is nice. (They also need sunshine, as do humans.). Life has gotten better for all of us.
Love this guy! Thank u for this mr WG ....I am going to try this w my seed starting this month and two seedlings at the same growth point...right now in Ontario I still have 2 metres of snow in backyard....thank u to my best friend for telling me about weedy gardener!
Kia ora Mr Weedy Gardener. I like your content and have looked forward to every video you put out. Thank you for your time and effort. I am motivated by what you do and say.
Family gave us a grounding mat that goes under our bedsheet at the foot of our second floor bed. It plug into the ground portion of any electrical outlet. We sleep noticeably better when we use it. My wife’s only complaint is that she feels like she has a hard time waking up in the morning.
An amazing experiment. I first heard about grounding when I stumbled across a CZcams video called The Earthing Movie. I have to say it made perfect sense to me and gave me a bit of an ‘ah ha moment’ as my shoes are off at every opportunity in the house or garden! It’s never been a conscious decision because I had no idea about grounding, until a few yrs ago. it’s always been for comfort, not for my feet, more for me as a whole. Since then I’ve really embraced it.
There are similar results with a fixed magnetic field, I have been wearing a strong magnetic bracelet for about thirty years and feel sure it helps my body stay healthy, some say smoke n mirrors, but my expierence is positive, all sorts of health issues no more, hypertension, kidney stones, glucose issues, all under control @76 yo., With fasting, exercise, simple diet, oats main carb with breakfast, etc. Keep up the good work,I will try the grounding of bed n feet.
I've been convinced of the effects of this for years. I wear shoes only if absolutely necessary, and when my apothecary garden is planted shoes won't be allowed. We are the only species that wear clothing (that I am aware of) and all life on land evolved without the need for it. Thanks @The Weedy Garden for bringing this to more people's attention.
Hubby is a sparkie and he says, if I understood correctly, the earth is not negatively charged it is neutral and balances energy... fascinating video I might try doing some of these experiments with my son... Blessings Gerowyn
I am an enthusiastic gardener and forager. But I’ve put my poor body through a lot. Every morning I hobble downstairs in pain After 10 minutes barefoot in my garden the pain disappears I strongly believe that earthing keeps me able I have not attempted earthing in our bed as my partner is an uneasy sleeper. So I go sleep outside when I need to (as often as the U.K. weather allows). Love your videos. Was only introduced to them today
Wow! That's great to know, I've been walking barefoot ever since I was little kid and my parents didn't know what to do to get me in shoes... I had always felt like it was essential to me and made me feel instantly better especially when I would sneak into the garden barefoot and get my feet dirty 😅.. now I know more thanks as always ☺️
Brilliant! As a longtime, tiny scale herb farmer in Wisconsin, USA, I discovered great value in going barefoot, sleeping on the earth, and digging into the soil. I recommend! I will send my results after experimentation. I will make sure to use the same bottles, same length of wire, and measure the same amount of water to keep all the control variables the same. My skeptic scientific friends will respect this research more. Thanks for the inspiration, David:)
G'day Weedy, Two comments about grounding. 1 I was once told that if you knock a nail into a tree and ground it . There will be enough electricity to light a LED. Never tried it though. 2 I was also told never knock a copper nail into the tree as it's toxic to plants in large quantities. So perhaps have an experiment with the flowers. One with either steel wire or have the tent peg suspended in the water attached to the copper wire and another with the copper direct into the water.
Hi David, I’m going to give it a crack. Might try with some different types of flowers from the garden. 100% grounding is definitely doing something good for us 👍
A great school science project. Lots of variables to manage (mitigate). Irrespective of the outcome, it's worth talk8ng about the psychological benefits of bare feet. Think about it: walking around barefoot and NOT being socially marginalised (in Aussies contexts at least) means you're probably living in a less populated, semi-final.setting - not rat-racing! - and spending t8me with people who are not rat-racing. Being it the electromagnetic marvels or just barefoot freed9m, it's all good. Keep up the good work!
I’ve been grounding for years while working in the garden & I’ve experienced many benefits.. but it wasn’t til Jan 2020 when I noticed such an obvious and immediate reaction to grounding. I had for the first time ever started have episodes of anxiety attacks and nothing can compare to the immediate relief of my symptoms when I have the ability to get out barefooted on some grass or the beach when an attack is coming. It’s so powerful. Will def attempt this experiment anyway bc it’s always fun to find new ways to see what a difference grounding makes! Thank you!
Love❤ Love ❤this!!!❤ I love being barefoot... I absolutely hate shoes! Yes l totally know grounding works for the betterment of the mind & body....xxx Thank you again...🍃🍂🌿🦶👣👣👣
when i was a child, my fathers friend whom everyone thought was crazy, was my best buddy. He was schizophrenic (he was actually a seer in my opinion) so no one listened to him, but everyone knew hed say thing that were true, Tom was his name. I was a child, this was early 80s, for time reference. He ran around everywhere barefoot, and called it grouning or earthing (i cant remember cause i have heard both and i was little) . Said we werent meant to wear shoes and live off the ground.. it was unnatural. I cant remember his face but I know he taught me to be the little bit of witchy i am....I think he protected me, bad things have happened in my life but i think he taught me to not hold onto them .... much love Tom...wherever you are!
Oooo, what fun - we can do that here in a number of ways, and will be happy to. I go no shoes whenever I can. When I was young I spent one whole summer here in NH, USA not wearing shoes at all, including when climbing mountains - hated going back to them when school started up. I think it makes a good difference, but it will be fun to test that. Thank you
Lovely ,Always lovely too see your enthusiasm and love for al you do! Thank you! My expereans ,it safed my life 💚🙏🏽🍀 ... reconnecting with Mother Earth.. my nerves systeem was totally ‘kapot’ .. my heart was racing al the time.. and then.. we learnt about earthing and grounding, .. 🙏🏽 Sleeping on a grounding sheet every night, and walking on de ground with very happy feed.. also sitting on the ground and feeling the earth with your hands , laying down, spine on the ground..smelling ,inhaling the earth... alll so Gooood!!... Remember ho we where,Are .. beings of this earth🙏🏽🍀 Thank you 🌼🌼🌼
You just blew my mind, not sure how i never heard if this before. It does explain why i always feel better gardening while barefoot which is my preferred way to be. Im gonna try your experiment and ill post my results. Cheers
Honestly, you bring me, and everyone else, such a breath of fresh air. I fully beleive in grounding. Ive never really liked to wear shoes, but commuting and work kinda forced it. Since the pandemic, I've been home working and back to the garden. Shies no where to be seen and I feel so much better. I try and stand outside, barefoot as much as I can.
I’ve seen some people doing this but never understood the fundamental reason. My phobia is to get hurts, but I will try this next summer (yes I’m in the northern hemisphere (Canada)) you made my day, I’ve learned something new today. Thanks 👍
John P, there is a company in the US that sells grounding flip flops. I prefer to wear shoes since I stepped on a lot of rusty nails as a kid. So I use grounded flip flops (the soles are noticeably heavier), or a grounding strap to ground. Also, real leather soles will allow you to ground as the leather absorbs a small amount of water and grounds you. One reason why this has only become an issue in the last few decades. Cheers.
I would have thought this is a bit crazy, until about a year ago. Grew some hemp microgreens under the south pole of a strong magnet (in about 2 cups worth of cheap potting mix) and 6 plants made it to maturity, near 6 foot high. This was indoors, with about an hour of direct light. The universe is electric, there's so much going on that we are completely ignorant of. Love the channel.
Magnificent. As usual. I´ll be doing this with some plants in pots. There ARE some people on the internet recommending doing this as part of your garden setup. I tried it a while back but I couldn´t discern any changes or differences, but I probably didn´t do it very scientifically. this MUST become a standard project for kids in schools.
Powerful! I once saw the documentary Heal and there was an episode which showed proof that for the human body grounding was highly beneficial. Hämoglobins of the blood flow more in sync after grounding. Major part of our body is water, so imagine what that power does for the body! I included grounding in my healing program now and practice it daily! Even 10 minutes will do! Love your channel and stories. ❤️☀️💫🙏🏽
Jaw on floor. Thank you. ❤️So true, I go out bear foot 🦶 every day the weather allows (usda zone 5)🥶🥵Once I started this again I feel better, like when I was a kid.
I’ve always noticed plants planted directly in the ground generally grow better than potted plants, but of course there are many variables. Your experiment if done many times could actually show a causation, unless intention makes a difference also :-O
I think it is great to be grounded. I find it really helps me. I am a little bit against having constant light for the experiment though. Most plants need a rest or dark period. Even cut flowers. As an example look at cut tulips. They will still open and close based on light. Without the rest period, they might not be able to utilize the negative ions from the ground.
Very well done! I ground every day, I feel the difference when its skipped. Instantly my body and mind feel better once walking on dirt, grass, sand, in water, in nature!
Thank u I hv learned now what is grounding r earthing. But already all the vegetations are grounded r earthed in the soil and obviously they are alive and while alive they are helping and getting some help from other miniatures and big organisms and once we harvest they then make us alive... May be this experiment r experience is good for hydroponic...since those plants are not grounded, may be.... Sometime I walk bare foot and now I know the science behind that, thank u weedy.
I’ve been grounding since December. Previously an electrical engineer currently a Maths teacher, take all things at their face value. Scoffed at by my partner for this ‘snake oil’ science. Since Christmas my eczema has cleared up, and my plague of old running injuries have cleared up, and I’m able to run again. No pain or swelling after running when grounded. Both my ‘cures’ may be a coincidence, but so pleased to see you bringing this area of medicine/science up to a wider audience. Try to get outside everyday (even in UK snow) and sleep with a wire around my wedding ring, attached to the earth socket. Dont recommend this if you don’t know what you are doing. Have finally placed an order for an earthing mat, so go to the next level. Keep up the informative videos. They are an escape! If new to Earthing check out Clint Ober in the US.
Hi David, i`m realy fascinated by the power of grounding. i have hiper thyroid problems for a few years, and the doctor wants some drastic aproach to solve it, to wich i said no! i did a lot of research and learned that the energy in my body is always from my chest up, and every moment i have in nature i would always walk barefoot, for the amusement of others, that called me a freak... so in the end i had too little earth. End up finding some grounding mats, wich i use everiday, and in less than one week, the swallow in my throat started to desapear, and my body relaxing like never before... Tks for letting everybody know.
Very interesting. I am 66 years old. When I was a child I was always barefooted outside playing. Needless to say now older my bones and health isn’t what I would like so I’m going to be gardening barefoot this year 👍. I’ll let you know how it goes. PS I’m as flat footed as a duck so hoping for extreme healthy changes ☺️. PS PS love your videos.
Im in !!....me and the kids will start this experiment this weekend...earthing is absolutely a real thing, also walking bare foot is good for your brain i have read studies a few years ago about how walking bare foot makes your brain think faster.
Interesting, I just finished a book called teaming with nutrients, that explains how plants feed. One part of the process is that root cells produce a positive charge to attract negatively charged mineral ions when required. Not sure how that works for a cut flower, but for a growing plant it has to have access to the right foods and minerals to grow. 😎👍
The Navaho Grandmother teaches that her people bring in the negative charge from mother earth and expelled into the outer positive charge out of the body when you are experiencing bad health or bad feelings.
@@Jan-Boer I heard from the experts, that the area needs to be big. Like if you have a tiny hose to water with, it takes a long time. If you have a big hose, water comes out faster. You might like to try getting an earthing sheet, or find a way to earth a larger area on your skin.
I’m generally sceptical of everything so I really appreciate your approach to this by getting everyone to send their experiments in. I’m very keen to see what ends up happening. It’s so hard to perform this kind of experiment properly with all the possible variables. For example when you say that you’ll be healthier with your hands in the dirt I agree but it could just be because you’re more likely to be doing physical activity compared to someone without their hands in the dirt. Keep it up mate 🌶
This is such a great channel, I also sleep on an earthing pad. I love that you just got fueled by a chance meeting with Geoff. I get so excited when I see your videos come on
@@hmh3808 I'd say a worthwhile moderate difference. Yes I'd get the one I have again but they've developed it into a new one, haven't tried it yet. I use my own rod, my own short cable, and the mat that is kept clean from them and when the rod is placed in a good spot I sleep well. When I got married my wife was very surprised by it as well
This isn't an example with water, but here goes anyway... As a massage therapist, in school we learned about grounding ourselves to the earth with our bare feet. It doesn't have to be bare soil. Standing on grass, or stones works too. Anything natural that is in direct contact with the earth's soil works. (I've never done it standing in water!) Ideally, you don't want extra layers between you, and the soil. Wearing shoes diminishes the effect. For example- if you are standing (or sitting works too, as long as your feet are squarely on the ground) standing barefoot on a marble tiled surface, that has been set with mortar, which is laid on concrete, which THEN is in direct contact with the earth's soil, the grounding effect IS diminished by all those layers, and all the possible synthetic materials added. It's the same with wearing shoes. When you stand on bare soil, or a bare stone that is in direct contact with the earth, then you are directly connected to the stream of energy the earth has to offer. In massage therapy, the process of transferring the clients energy away from yourself involves mental awareness, your own physical energy, and visualization. This is a necessary application of that job because of the transference of energy between the 2 humans. You don't want to keep someone else's energy to yourself. We humans tend to carry baggage! It's just not healthy to hold on to someone else's baggage. A massage therapist has to learn how NOT to absorb negative energy (or positive energy too) from the client. That energy from the client HAS to go somewhere. When our bare feet are touching the earth, the earth sends energy upward thru the human, and out into the heavens. It's an energy stream. If a person wants to rid themselves of negative energy, this can be done with this same principle. The energy stream comes up thru the earth, into our feet, and we can reach our hands up to the sky, pointing our fingers up as if beams of energy are moving through them. (So don't hold your fingers in a clenched position) This action, along with the mental process, releases the energy stream that has moved through us. Many people don't believe this to be a real thing. I rarely have a chance to talk about these things here in the U.S. as the majority of the population simply turns their nose up at these types of things. They prefer to slap the label of "flake" on to those of us who speak of these things. Which is sad, I think. I have a hard time describing how it feels to move energy around like this. I do have examples of how I could feel a client's energy before I released it. However, because nothing is provable, the nay sayers don't believe. Like I said, I've not much practice in talking about it. I can simply say this IS a real thing. It does take practice though. If you just walk outside and try it, it may not really feel like anything to you. You have to use all the other tools your mind is capable of to actually feel it. ♡
I've been grounding for a couple of months now. I use a tens machine sticky pad plugged onto the cord of an antistatic strap and the alligator clip of the strap is attached to a wire that is connected to earth. I have noticed I can feel the energy flow out of me when I connect. I am more even tempered since starting it and if I find myself uptight, anxious or overly upset I will head to the bedroom and plug in for a while and the emotion dissapates. I know it is working because before starting to ground it never did dissapate when I took time out. I will apply the pad to areas of pain and in a short while it dissapates. I would love an earthing mat for our bed or the sheets you spoke about but financially that is not possible right now. PS Love your channel. Edit I will be planting my strawberries in planters off the ground this coming spring (I'm in NZ) and fully intend to run a copperwire from each plant to earth. It just seems to make logical sense to me that if you want your food to continue to be as nourishing as it is when you grow it in the ground you would take steps to earth it.
Awesome video. I was an electrician for a few years. I wonder if the results would improve with a longer ground rod. The tent stake is most likely making a connection to the ground, but a longer rod would offer less resistance in the connection. Maybe 6-8 feet down would improve the results? I’m definitely trying this for myself. Thanks for doing this.
i used to go and lie down on the grass in the morning when i was hung over from alcohol 0thankfully i rarely drink these days-I instantly instincivley and immediatley knew the grounding effects were good -i stumbled on steve kroushels documentry a few years ago and ground myself as much as possible
I'll definitely be able to do this experiment in couple months after my last frost. This concept makes sense so I look forward to seeing the results. Thanks for the inspiration, sir.
Looking forward to your video. Hira Ratan Manek gave a presentation on his diet of sunlight in Oregon years ago. One of the interesting things he said was that after a while he didn't need to look at the sun on the horizon anymore, but all he had to do was walk barefoot on bare earth. He said grass saps your energy while bare earth that had soaked in sunlight charges you somehow.
From one barefooter to another..I always appreciate you baring your sole(s) for us.
My record for being barefoot is 8 months with no foot cages.
I'm a northern boy and used to regularly jog in below freezing temps w/o shoes, one time I danced on the ice of a frozen lake for most of an hour--fun fact for y'all in the northern climes..your feet will build a layer of fat to help withstand nippy toes.
I'm and the U.S. southwest now..barefoot in the desert on 100° days with little discomfort.
I love the feeling of connection to our Mother Earth..she wants to heal us, as any caretaker should.
I was most appreciative of turning to this lifestyle bc it forced me to slow down from such a fast-paced world..
Plan a few steps ahead, I believe this subconsciously aids in other everyday life affairs. It adds a certain mindfulness we don't get other places.
I'm into massage and believe walking on different surfaces gets us a little free reflexology.
Top many people are unaware of proper foot health, and how it affects our overall well-being.
Thanks Weedy, for inviting us to science with ya.

My partner and I are both in our 80's and have a similar experiment going, only it is our bed. We have a wire out of the bedroom window attached to a grounding rod with a crocodile clips on the other end which we attach to our pyjama waist band. when we remember to clip it on we sleep really well if we forget it is a restless night. we have been doing this for about 5 years and are both in perfect health.
you can get a sheet. They make them nowadays. search grounding sheet or grounding mat
@@TheWeedyGarden the sheets cost too much for our pension the wire is free
Wow. That's so good! Great story thanks 😃
Marion, that is great that you found an inexpensive way to improve your health. When we get back to how nature wants us to live our health improves. Blessings to you and your partner.
Daaaang that is Soo cool....I don't know how I'm going to go about this, I know I probably can't afford the sheets or whatever... besides...I prefer to try to make something versus just go out and buy it... anyways thanks for the idea and for all the people chiming in with thier own ideas/ experiments 😉🤠👍💯🍻👏🌻

I will do this with my science class! We are just about to start talking about magnetism and electricity! Plus they know I am a gardener and nature lover so this is so perfect!
David I've often noted differences when germinating seeds. The same way potted plants sitting on the ground will send roots through the drain holes into the earth, seedling trays sitting on the ground, rather than a table or shelf, will develop faster and stronger seedlings.
That is true.... I put my seed trays on the ground once it’s warm enough as well and identical ones on the bench are always a day or two behind....
I love to feel the Earth through my bare feet. The seashore and cool green grass feel pretty great, a very mindful experience. Have a great day.
Earthing is Real Mr. Weedy! I love your content. You're so adorable in your humanness.
OH man that first part with the music and the flowers made me well up! Us humans really know little about life.
But we are always learning and discovering because we ARE curious 🦶🏻Imagine how little and ant knows. Give us some credit 🤣🤣🤣
You are the most amazing teacher!. Thank you! ! Your videos are a real eye opener. You teach us to be aware and really connected to our planet . You remind me of Cousteau who like you taught many. Thank you again. Your videos are a blessing and we are hungry for more
Couldn’t have said it better Cynthia Hamilton! Totally
Agree.
God bless you my Love and thank you so much for sharing your passion and fire with us 🌈 ✨ 🚀
Permaculture, plant power and love... It's all we need 👌
And fun-guys man, always the fun-guys 🙂😉🙃😊😇🤠🌿💨
Great vid as always David, definitely going to try the no shoes approach from now on and see if I can feel any difference. One thing I will say as a Boilermaker/Welder for the last 40 odd years is you will not earth without a good clean earth cable to earth stake contact, you will not earth through rusted steel, so my advice is to use copper grounding rods/pegs, I'm sure most people have experienced battery trouble in their cars usually caused by poor terminal contact. Another thing that should be a consideration is that copper can also attain a pigment called verdigris, the green coloring often seen on copper, which will make grounding harder, Verdigris was the main reason for unexploded WW2 bombs, Verdigris contaminated copper fuse contacts that then wouldn't earth, no current = no bang. So clean metal + good cable to stake contact = great earth. The Human body is mostly made up of water which is an awesome conductor of electricity, so no need for anything other than your feet to earth out to the ground. Keep up the great work.
Raw copper rod directly to the ground.
@@3dcrazy332 commercial grounding rods for housing should be no more than $10
some of them have a steel core to help driving it into the ground. copper-to-copper for the best results
I try to walk everywhere barefoot ( unless it’s blazing hot haha) It’s helped me a lot with my healing .. I always feel so happy being down on the ground working with the soil .. Nothing like the smell of dirt with big chunky worms :)
Thank You so much !!! I appreciate all your videos. You are a gift to mankind :) I LoVe You
Right on buddy I'm in the no shoe crew too.
Me too lol @thehippiecaretaker on Instagram lol
same the minute spring hits I'm wearing no shoes. I am urban to so I have to wear shoes off my property because needles and glass
In my culture(Chinese), we have the saying “接地气”, means to “touch the ground” or “ down to earth”. My mom always says that plants need to be connected to the ground even when they are potted. Now I know it’s called “grounding / earthing”. Fascinating experiment by the way!
So cool
It's just like you've helped me land ,I am all over the place since covid came , this is like a reminder ; hay we can get better ,I really feel this 💯🍀
Only if there were an option to super-like a video 😇 🙏 Thanks for letting us watch your work, Sir!
I was grounded my by parents pretty much on a monthly basis when I was growing up. One time it was for 1-month straight - apart from meals and going to school. And I have to say, I am a much better person for it.
Although, I may have my "wires" crossed about the term grounded here :)
🤣
Great idea! I think I'll do the one with the pot plants.... I can hardly wait! I've walked barefoot all of my life and still do I am 63. 👍😍💓😘🙏 Namaste
Yes yes yes, I feel so great barefoot and I've always felt it's beneficial. Excellent experiment! Thank you
👣 great
I’ll certainly give this a go in the summer with some fresh cut roses and tomatoes that I always grow in pots. Thanks for the video & the inspiration
I enjoy connecting with the earth. Bare feet or hands in dirt. Grounding is an often overlooked component of good health🤘💚🌍
Should ask the soil scientist from Gardening In Canada youtube channel to chime in on this. Would be interesting to hear her take on this. Even better if she runs the experiment herself
Hey Weedy I've been an active gardener for over 40 years and became conscious of the therapeutic (grounding) effects of getting my hands ( and feet) into the earth about 35 years ago. There is no doubt I am healthier for it.
love it, grew up on the beach and ran barefoot everyday. Still go around barefoot love it.
Hi David it’s Daniel from Portugal : quite a clever experiment to demonstrate the earthing effects. Thanks for sharing your amazing work and ideas with the world. I’m hooked. All the best mate
Wow thanks ☺ I walk barefoot on my little patch grass, but not in winter too cold, now it's becoming spring again!
Hello. I love your videos and appreciate your time and effort to make them so entertaining and organic. Pun intended. As an avid hobby gardener with a pure love of our planet and her amazing abilities this video reminded me of a series of booklets I purchased way back in the 90s Jerry Baker, America’s Master Gardener (back cover) produced a series of volumes of gardening tips tricks and tonics. Specifically this reminded me of “electro Culture” that uses metal object preferably copper to “supercharge” your garden and harness the power of thunderstorms to convert oxygen to nitrogen, by placing metal stakes and stringing copper wire over the plants as well as metal stakes just around the plant, ie: tomato cage around a rose or pepper plant. He suggests using pantyhose also to stake the plants if needed for added electrostatic charge. All of which increases the fertility of the surrounding soil and benefits both the plant and your yields. It is a wonderful series and thank you for the reminder to review all before this year’s planting. Thanks for sharing the experiment.
Uncanny timing, I just slept on my grounding pad last night. You are absolutely on the right track! Thank you for this and everything you do and share, it's greatly appreciated.
Amazing!! 😍 *Wracks brain to see if she can pull an experiment off* - and signs up to financially and energetically support “The Weedy Gardener” because the value of this EDUCATION is off scale. Thank you 🙏
I don't like to walk barefoot so I bought small grounding pads and wrist attachments that I use at work and at home. When I first set the pad up to sit on, my cats all sat on it. They are mainly indoor cats so that was quite a revelation to me. They now have pads they can sleep on. And I put them outside a few times a week when the weather is nice. (They also need sunshine, as do humans.). Life has gotten better for all of us.
Love this guy! Thank u for this mr WG ....I am going to try this w my seed starting this month and two seedlings at the same growth point...right now in Ontario I still have 2 metres of snow in backyard....thank u to my best friend for telling me about weedy gardener!
I almost cried watching the flowers! 😊
Kia ora Mr Weedy Gardener. I like your content and have looked forward to every video you put out. Thank you for your time and effort. I am motivated by what you do and say.
Family gave us a grounding mat that goes under our bedsheet at the foot of our second floor bed. It plug into the ground portion of any electrical outlet. We sleep noticeably better when we use it. My wife’s only complaint is that she feels like she has a hard time waking up in the morning.
Fascinating, I have never heard about this , well it’s shoes off , I’m off for a walk on the grass . Thanks weedy
An amazing experiment. I first heard about grounding when I stumbled across a CZcams video called The Earthing Movie. I have to say it made perfect sense to me and gave me a bit of an ‘ah ha moment’ as my shoes are off at every opportunity in the house or garden! It’s never been a conscious decision because I had no idea about grounding, until a few yrs ago. it’s always been for comfort, not for my feet, more for me as a whole. Since then I’ve really embraced it.
That is the video I have put in the description.
There are similar results with a fixed magnetic field, I have been wearing a strong magnetic bracelet for about thirty years and feel sure it helps my body stay healthy, some say smoke n mirrors, but my expierence is positive, all sorts of health issues no more, hypertension, kidney stones, glucose issues, all under control @76 yo., With fasting, exercise, simple diet, oats main carb with breakfast, etc.
Keep up the good work,I will try the grounding of bed n feet.
Its makes sense. I'm glad I've been watching this channel. Amazing 👏
I've been convinced of the effects of this for years. I wear shoes only if absolutely necessary, and when my apothecary garden is planted shoes won't be allowed. We are the only species that wear clothing (that I am aware of) and all life on land evolved without the need for it. Thanks @The Weedy Garden for bringing this to more people's attention.
Aaye Were the only species with youtube 😁 just saying but I love this video this dude and youuuu
Hubby is a sparkie and he says, if I understood correctly, the earth is not negatively charged it is neutral and balances energy... fascinating video I might try doing some of these experiments with my son... Blessings Gerowyn
the first part of the video should have 1 milion views
I am an enthusiastic gardener and forager. But I’ve put my poor body through a lot. Every morning I hobble downstairs in pain After 10 minutes barefoot in my garden the pain disappears I strongly believe that earthing keeps me able I have not attempted earthing in our bed as my partner is an uneasy sleeper. So I go sleep outside when I need to (as often as the U.K. weather allows). Love your videos. Was only introduced to them today
Wow! That's great to know, I've been walking barefoot ever since I was little kid and my parents didn't know what to do to get me in shoes... I had always felt like it was essential to me and made me feel instantly better especially when I would sneak into the garden barefoot and get my feet dirty 😅.. now I know more thanks as always ☺️
Now I understand what grounding really means!!! Always thought it was a bit woowoo but now I get it!👍❤️
Woo...that’s great 👍🏼
LAST WEEKEND I BINGE WATCHED ALL YOUR VIDEOS
Ha ha! So did I...again 😳🤪🙏👍🏼
Brilliant! As a longtime, tiny scale herb farmer in Wisconsin, USA, I discovered great value in going barefoot, sleeping on the earth, and digging into the soil. I recommend! I will send my results after experimentation. I will make sure to use the same bottles, same length of wire, and measure the same amount of water to keep all the control variables the same. My skeptic scientific friends will respect this research more. Thanks for the inspiration, David:)
G'day Weedy,
Two comments about grounding.
1 I was once told that if you knock a nail into a tree and ground it . There will be enough electricity to light a LED. Never tried it though.
2 I was also told never knock a copper nail into the tree as it's toxic to plants in large quantities.
So perhaps have an experiment with the flowers. One with either steel wire or have the tent peg suspended in the water attached to the copper wire and another with the copper direct into the water.
Hi David, I’m going to give it a crack. Might try with some different types of flowers from the garden. 100% grounding is definitely doing something good for us 👍
A great school science project. Lots of variables to manage (mitigate). Irrespective of the outcome, it's worth talk8ng about the psychological benefits of bare feet. Think about it: walking around barefoot and NOT being socially marginalised (in Aussies contexts at least) means you're probably living in a less populated, semi-final.setting - not rat-racing! - and spending t8me with people who are not rat-racing. Being it the electromagnetic marvels or just barefoot freed9m, it's all good. Keep up the good work!
I am definitely going to try this with propagations and see if it changes the rate at which they root!
Definitely a different reaction. Earthing out is the real deal. Never seen it done like this. Cheers
I’ve been grounding for years while working in the garden & I’ve experienced many benefits.. but it wasn’t til Jan 2020 when I noticed such an obvious and immediate reaction to grounding. I had for the first time ever started have episodes of anxiety attacks and nothing can compare to the immediate relief of my symptoms when I have the ability to get out barefooted on some grass or the beach when an attack is coming. It’s so powerful.
Will def attempt this experiment anyway bc it’s always fun to find new ways to see what a difference grounding makes!
Thank you!
Thank you for your comment. I will recommend that people suffering from anxiety at least try grounding to see if it helps.
It’s absolutely true , thank you for sharing your experiment 👍🏻!
Hello again from virginia USA! I continue to enjoy your ideas and enthusiasm. Glad you have this medium to share.
Love❤ Love ❤this!!!❤
I love being barefoot...
I absolutely hate shoes!
Yes l totally know grounding works for the betterment of the mind & body....xxx
Thank you again...🍃🍂🌿🦶👣👣👣
when i was a child, my fathers friend whom everyone thought was crazy, was my best buddy. He was schizophrenic (he was actually a seer in my opinion) so no one listened to him, but everyone knew hed say thing that were true, Tom was his name. I was a child, this was early 80s, for time reference. He ran around everywhere barefoot, and called it grouning or earthing (i cant remember cause i have heard both and i was little) . Said we werent meant to wear shoes and live off the ground.. it was unnatural. I cant remember his face but I know he taught me to be the little bit of witchy i am....I think he protected me, bad things have happened in my life but i think he taught me to not hold onto them .... much love Tom...wherever you are!
Some of the best content I've ever seen!
Oooo, what fun - we can do that here in a number of ways, and will be happy to. I go no shoes whenever I can. When I was young I spent one whole summer here in NH, USA not wearing shoes at all, including when climbing mountains - hated going back to them when school started up. I think it makes a good difference, but it will be fun to test that. Thank you
Lovely ,Always lovely too see your enthusiasm and love for al you do! Thank you! My expereans ,it safed my life 💚🙏🏽🍀 ... reconnecting with Mother Earth.. my nerves systeem was totally ‘kapot’ .. my heart was racing al the time.. and then.. we learnt about earthing and grounding, .. 🙏🏽 Sleeping on a grounding sheet every night, and walking on de ground with very happy feed.. also sitting on the ground and feeling the earth with your hands , laying down, spine on the ground..smelling ,inhaling the earth... alll so Gooood!!... Remember ho we where,Are .. beings of this earth🙏🏽🍀 Thank you 🌼🌼🌼
You just blew my mind, not sure how i never heard if this before. It does explain why i always feel better gardening while barefoot which is my preferred way to be. Im gonna try your experiment and ill post my results. Cheers
Honestly, you bring me, and everyone else, such a breath of fresh air.
I fully beleive in grounding.
Ive never really liked to wear shoes, but commuting and work kinda forced it. Since the pandemic, I've been home working and back to the garden. Shies no where to be seen and I feel so much better.
I try and stand outside, barefoot as much as I can.
I’ve seen some people doing this but never understood the fundamental reason. My phobia is to get hurts, but I will try this next summer (yes I’m in the northern hemisphere (Canada)) you made my day, I’ve learned something new today. Thanks 👍
John P, there is a company in the US that sells grounding flip flops. I prefer to wear shoes since I stepped on a lot of rusty nails as a kid. So I use grounded flip flops (the soles are noticeably heavier), or a grounding strap to ground. Also, real leather soles will allow you to ground as the leather absorbs a small amount of water and grounds you. One reason why this has only become an issue in the last few decades. Cheers.
I would have thought this is a bit crazy, until about a year ago. Grew some hemp microgreens under the south pole of a strong magnet (in about 2 cups worth of cheap potting mix) and 6 plants made it to maturity, near 6 foot high. This was indoors, with about an hour of direct light. The universe is electric, there's so much going on that we are completely ignorant of. Love the channel.
Wow! Electroculture right there!!
@@TheWeedyGarden forgot to reply with this earlier. czcams.com/video/dc04O3L18jc/video.html
Spielberg of CZcams.....👌🏼
Magnificent. As usual. I´ll be doing this with some plants in pots. There ARE some people on the internet recommending doing this as part of your garden setup. I tried it a while back but I couldn´t discern any changes or differences, but I probably didn´t do it very scientifically. this MUST become a standard project for kids in schools.
This is so beautiful, the way the grounded flower lifts it's little head is just magical!! xxx
I always feel better when I can wriggle my toes in the dirt. Too cold now, but spring is right around the corner!
This is brilliant , i cant wait to see what everyone comes up with , im going to try this myself :)
Powerful! I once saw the documentary Heal and there was an episode which showed proof that for the human body grounding was highly beneficial. Hämoglobins of the blood flow more in sync after grounding. Major part of our body is water, so imagine what that power does for the body! I included grounding in my healing program now and practice it daily! Even 10 minutes will do! Love your channel and stories. ❤️☀️💫🙏🏽
Jaw on floor. Thank you. ❤️So true, I go out bear foot 🦶 every day the weather allows (usda zone 5)🥶🥵Once I started this again I feel better, like when I was a kid.
I’ve always noticed plants planted directly in the ground generally grow better than potted plants, but of course there are many variables. Your experiment if done many times could actually show a causation, unless intention makes a difference also :-O
I think it is great to be grounded. I find it really helps me. I am a little bit against having constant light for the experiment though. Most plants need a rest or dark period. Even cut flowers. As an example look at cut tulips. They will still open and close based on light. Without the rest period, they might not be able to utilize the negative ions from the ground.
FantasTic!!! great way to portray this thank you for doing this! xx
Very well done! I ground every day, I feel the difference when its skipped. Instantly my body and mind feel better once walking on dirt, grass, sand, in water, in nature!
Thank u I hv learned now what is grounding r earthing. But already all the vegetations are grounded r earthed in the soil and obviously they are alive and while alive they are helping and getting some help from other miniatures and big organisms and once we harvest they then make us alive...
May be this experiment r experience is good for hydroponic...since those plants are not grounded, may be....
Sometime I walk bare foot and now I know the science behind that, thank u weedy.
I’ve been grounding since December. Previously an electrical engineer currently a Maths teacher, take all things at their face value. Scoffed at by my partner for this ‘snake oil’ science. Since Christmas my eczema has cleared up, and my plague of old running injuries have cleared up, and I’m able to run again. No pain or swelling after running when grounded. Both my ‘cures’ may be a coincidence, but so pleased to see you bringing this area of medicine/science up to a wider audience. Try to get outside everyday (even in UK snow) and sleep with a wire around my wedding ring, attached to the earth socket. Dont recommend this if you don’t know what you are doing. Have finally placed an order for an earthing mat, so go to the next level. Keep up the informative videos. They are an escape! If new to Earthing check out Clint Ober in the US.
Hi David, i`m realy fascinated by the power of grounding.
i have hiper thyroid problems for a few years, and the doctor wants some drastic aproach to solve it, to wich i said no!
i did a lot of research and learned that the energy in my body is always from my chest up, and every moment i have in nature i would always walk barefoot, for the amusement of others, that called me a freak... so in the end i had too little earth. End up finding some grounding mats, wich i use everiday, and in less than one week, the swallow in my throat started to desapear, and my body relaxing like never before... Tks for letting everybody know.
Very interesting. I am 66 years old. When I was a child I was always barefooted outside playing. Needless to say now older my bones and health isn’t what I would like so I’m going to be gardening barefoot this year 👍. I’ll let you know how it goes. PS I’m as flat footed as a duck so hoping for extreme healthy changes ☺️. PS PS love your videos.
Now I know why I love getting my hands in the soil.
How interesting. I have never heard of such a thing and I have been a gardener for many, many years.
I love experimenting. My wife has been a barefooter for many years. I Barefoot quite often I'm always in the dirt in the garden year-round.
Im in !!....me and the kids will start this experiment this weekend...earthing is absolutely a real thing, also walking bare foot is good for your brain i have read studies a few years ago about how walking bare foot makes your brain think faster.
Interesting, I just finished a book called teaming with nutrients, that explains how plants feed. One part of the process is that root cells produce a positive charge to attract negatively charged mineral ions when required. Not sure how that works for a cut flower, but for a growing plant it has to have access to the right foods and minerals to grow. 😎👍
The Navaho Grandmother teaches that her people bring in the negative charge from mother earth and expelled into the outer positive charge out of the body when you are experiencing bad health or bad feelings.
I have connected my bed to the earth with copper for six months. Have my doubts, but after your story I am more convinced. Thanks.
How is it done? How much of your skin is touching the copper?
@@TheWeedyGarden I have a thin copper wire in the ground socket. And I lie on that. It's just a single thread.
@@Jan-Boer I heard from the experts, that the area needs to be big. Like if you have a tiny hose to water with, it takes a long time. If you have a big hose, water comes out faster. You might like to try getting an earthing sheet, or find a way to earth a larger area on your skin.
I’m generally sceptical of everything so I really appreciate your approach to this by getting everyone to send their experiments in. I’m very keen to see what ends up happening. It’s so hard to perform this kind of experiment properly with all the possible variables. For example when you say that you’ll be healthier with your hands in the dirt I agree but it could just be because you’re more likely to be doing physical activity compared to someone without their hands in the dirt. Keep it up mate 🌶
Yes but now there are coming more and more scientific studies on this subject
I like your style weedy gardenah.
This is such a great channel, I also sleep on an earthing pad. I love that you just got fueled by a chance meeting with Geoff. I get so excited when I see your videos come on
Carmelo have you felt a significant difference since sleeping on earthing pad? Would u recommend the one you have? THNK u!
@@hmh3808 I'd say a worthwhile moderate difference. Yes I'd get the one I have again but they've developed it into a new one, haven't tried it yet. I use my own rod, my own short cable, and the mat that is kept clean from them and when the rod is placed in a good spot I sleep well. When I got married my wife was very surprised by it as well
Will do the experiment and time lapse. The water also looks clearer in the grounded glass.
WHAT THE FLYING...??!!? This is amazing
This isn't an example with water, but here goes anyway...
As a massage therapist, in school we learned about grounding ourselves to the earth with our bare feet. It doesn't have to be bare soil. Standing on grass, or stones works too. Anything natural that is in direct contact with the earth's soil works.
(I've never done it standing
in water!)
Ideally, you don't want extra layers between you, and the soil.
Wearing shoes diminishes the effect. For example- if you are standing (or sitting works too, as long as your feet are squarely on the ground) standing barefoot on a marble tiled surface, that has been set with mortar, which is laid on concrete, which THEN is in direct contact with the earth's soil, the grounding effect IS diminished by all those layers, and all the possible synthetic materials added.
It's the same with wearing shoes. When you stand on bare soil, or a bare stone that is in direct contact with the earth, then you are directly connected to the stream of energy the earth has to offer.
In massage therapy, the process of transferring the clients energy away from yourself involves mental awareness, your own physical energy, and visualization.
This is a necessary application of that job because of the transference of energy between the 2 humans. You don't want to keep someone else's energy to yourself.
We humans tend to carry baggage! It's just not healthy to hold on to someone else's baggage.
A massage therapist has to learn how NOT to absorb negative energy (or positive energy too) from the client. That energy from the client HAS to go somewhere.
When our bare feet are touching the earth, the earth sends energy upward thru the human, and out into the heavens. It's an energy stream.
If a person wants to rid themselves of negative energy, this can be done with this same principle. The energy stream comes up thru the earth, into our feet, and we can reach our hands up to the sky, pointing our fingers up as if beams of energy are moving through them. (So don't hold your fingers in a clenched position) This action, along with the mental process, releases the energy stream that has moved through us.
Many people don't believe this to be a real thing.
I rarely have a chance to talk about these things here in the U.S. as the majority of the population simply turns their nose up at these types of things. They prefer to slap the label of "flake" on to those of us who speak of these things.
Which is sad, I think.
I have a hard time describing how it feels to move energy around like this. I do have examples of how I could feel a client's energy before I released it. However, because nothing is provable, the nay sayers don't believe.
Like I said, I've not much practice in talking about it.
I can simply say this IS a real thing.
It does take practice though.
If you just walk outside and try it, it may not really feel like anything to you. You have to use all the other tools your mind is capable of to actually feel it. ♡
I've been grounding for a couple of months now. I use a tens machine sticky pad plugged onto the cord of an antistatic strap and the alligator clip of the strap is attached to a wire that is connected to earth. I have noticed I can feel the energy flow out of me when I connect. I am more even tempered since starting it and if I find myself uptight, anxious or overly upset I will head to the bedroom and plug in for a while and the emotion dissapates. I know it is working because before starting to ground it never did dissapate when I took time out. I will apply the pad to areas of pain and in a short while it dissapates. I would love an earthing mat for our bed or the sheets you spoke about but financially that is not possible right now. PS Love your channel. Edit I will be planting my strawberries in planters off the ground this coming spring (I'm in NZ) and fully intend to run a copperwire from each plant to earth. It just seems to make logical sense to me that if you want your food to continue to be as nourishing as it is when you grow it in the ground you would take steps to earth it.
Wow VERY interesting, am going to try this with a whole lot of plants in pots 😁 bare foot in my garden from now on. Cheers Weedy
Awesome video. I was an electrician for a few years. I wonder if the results would improve with a longer ground rod. The tent stake is most likely making a connection to the ground, but a longer rod would offer less resistance in the connection. Maybe 6-8 feet down would improve the results? I’m definitely trying this for myself. Thanks for doing this.
i used to go and lie down on the grass in the morning when i was hung over from alcohol 0thankfully i rarely drink these days-I instantly instincivley and immediatley knew the grounding effects were good -i stumbled on steve kroushels documentry a few years ago and ground myself as much as possible
How cool and easy!!!
I'll definitely be able to do this experiment in couple months after my last frost. This concept makes sense so I look forward to seeing the results. Thanks for the inspiration, sir.
Looking forward to your video. Hira Ratan Manek gave a presentation on his diet of sunlight in Oregon years ago. One of the interesting things he said was that after a while he didn't need to look at the sun on the horizon anymore, but all he had to do was walk barefoot on bare earth. He said grass saps your energy while bare earth that had soaked in sunlight charges you somehow.
So grass is bad and dirty is good in more simple terms?
I don’t see how something filled with chlorophyl would sap your energy...?
@@hmh3808 I don't understand either.
