If you want to get started building and experimenting with electroculture devices, here are the best tools, supplies and resources we have found.
Remember that your best results will come from trying different ideas and finding out what works best in your area, and for your needs.
You might even invent something that works better than anything made before!
These devices are easy to make and don't cost a lot. But if you don't have time to make devices yourself, then consider buying one from us.
So have fun and let's grow some healthy plants!
This list will be updated whenever we find new high-quality supplies and tools.
If you're new to electroculture, be sure to read our Ultimate Guide to Electroculture first.

Supplies
Here are some basic supplies that you can use to get started.
- Copper wire: The best wire material.
- Bamboo skewers: These 6 inch skewers are perfect for small plants.
- Wooden dowels: If you want something thicker for outdoors or large plants, use a dowel. Select the thickness based on your needs.
- Basalt dust: This rock comes from volcanoes and has been shown to improve soil quality.
Tools
- Long nose pliers: Useful for shaping wires.
- Compass: Essential for figuring out magnetic North and for figuring out which side of a magnet is North or South.
- Magnets: Simple magnets for any of your experiments. The hole in the middle makes them easy to secure, so you know that the right side will always face up.
