After seeing the similarities between earth and water batteries I believe the effect also involves an electrolysis effect as Jeanne is finding out with the magnesium ribbon being consumed. Here is a website for a good source of magnesium and other metals one might use for these experiments. Try using something more substantial for longer life IE thicker material.
RotoMetals Magnesium Anodes- Pencil, Rod and Weld. For use in Fresh water Applications
in my water battery test videos mentioned above, even tho there is no base or acid in the water cells the zinc is now almost gone off the staples through an electrolysis effect. Another thing I am observing is cells 7-10 in the ice trays consume 3 times the water than the other cells. I will be making video Part 3 to show all this. I believe in the ground the same thing is taking place and this is why people claim a better effect near plants as that would be where the PH of the soil would be different and act upon the metal with the electrolysis effect. PH 7 as we know is neutral, my cell started at PH7 (pure water) and now it has risen to PH8 as the zinc is almost all striped from the staples and is now in the water solution, which increases its output as it speeds up the electrolysis effect of the metals creating electricity. Your soil could be acidic or more to the base in its PH. Have any of you done a PH test on the soil you are doing your experiments in? Jeanne might find a PH of around 8 I am thinking which would speed up the electrolysis effect and break down the magnesium ribbon. I would like to find some "MAG" wheels and bury a few of them as the reason the custom wheels on cars were originally called MAGS was because they were made from magnesium alloy. Many wheels now are aluminum and not magnesium but you can still find the magnesium type. I think a Mag wheel may last for years in the ground before it completely broke down and could be wrapped with a copper coil around the wheel, that might be interesting, and also expensive given the price of copper wire.
Anyway just thinking out loud here and typing my thoughts.
Good Day!!
