I stumbled on this:

What does the team think?


I can't rule out that in some way the copper tools are having an effect, but
the 'scientific' explanation seems like complete bunkum to me.

I often find this with any form of 'alternative' approaches, be it to
medicine, horticulture, or whatever.People find something that does seem to
work, but instead of saying "hey, I'm not sure why this should work, but it
does - why not give it a try", they have to over-egg the pudding and make up
some completely daft pseudo-scientific claptrap to explain the phenomenon.
This is actually counterproductive, because the silly scientific explanation
puts people off from trying something that just might actually work!

Personally, I don't care too much if I don't understand how something
works - the main thing is that it works!
