In tonight’s conversation, I’m joined by Andy and Francesco to explore how electroculture, geotherapy and good soil biology can radically improve food production. We trace our journey from first meetings and early scepticism to practical installations of power towers, minerals such as basalt, dolomite and quartz, and microbe-rich teas—plus the surprising results we’ve witnessed first-hand: extended growing seasons, stronger plants, rapid mycelium activity and even notable changes in pest pressure. We also talk practical farming: costs front‑loaded versus conventional annual inputs, where to trial on-farm, and how building a living, resilient soil biome can future‑proof smallholdings and larger acreages alike. Along the way we compare notes from sites in Somerset, Kent and Hope Sussex, touch on historical threads (from 19th–20th century experiments to pyramid energy and structured water), and look at the wider landscape: the rise of community growing, regenerative practices, and farmers shifting to direct sales. The core message is simple and actionable—recreate the forest floor, feed the microbiome, and use energy wisely—so that our soils become sovereign, our food more nutritious, and our communities more resilient.
