Brown made his first agricultural pyramid in 1974 which at the time was the first large-scale pyramid anywhere in the world built for the express purpose of raising substantial crops. Four years later he wrote this book to:

  • explore the source of pyramid energy;
  • discuss how that energy affects living cells;
  • look into the use of pyramids in food production;
  • make observations in relation to food preservation;
  • discuss the many different uses of pyramids;
  • plan and execute an 'energiser' to enliven any dormant part of your structure.

Brown looks at wooden pyramids as a means to become independent from the system, referring to them as the total eco system home.

On a personal note I have found that of all the electrocuture techniques which have been implemented around my house & garden over the last six months, the wooden pyramid remains to be the most effective, unquestionably boosting the growth of plants both in and around it.

One of my strongest wishes today is to encourage others to experiment with pyramids, for I am convinced that there are unbelievably wide horizons to be explored in this area, and only by countless people experimenting on their own will new uses of the pyramids come to light.

Hi Sam,
I am following your electroculture experiments with a lot of enthousiasm. I find them very helpful.
I like to build a wooden pyramid just like you. Did you only use Les Brown's book or are there any other sources that helped you as well ? I can only find one small picture of the blueprint of the pyramid. Would be nice to have a little bit more information. I was wondering for example if the base needs diagonal corners as well and if it is included in total of the measurements.Also wondering about how you join the wood so that you get a nice pointy apex?
Hope I make any sense. Thanks! Any help very much appreciated!
