Great progress. There are some solders that come with flux imbedded in the solder which makes things more convenient. My gut feeling is that you have some questionable connections if you have that much variation in voltage. 🖖

Thanks for the solder tip. Was not aware of this. Need to get back to the shop really and see what they have in this respect...
For the voltage variation I struggle to see how it relates to connections. I may be wrong of course but it seems to me that earth batteries simply don't have a steady output until they are in the ground. Too many variables on my kitchen table. Like I said, even noise would disturb the voltage.
By the way, I have been alerted over on hive that I am reading my multimeter wrong and in fact I am getting just one milliamp! So, I have more copper and will make more cells in parallel now to increase this.
Looking forward to getting this into the garden too, as I believe the output will increase once it is deep in the earth. Let's see...
Sometimes the best adventures & results are achieved through trial and error. 🖖
There are no 'mistakes'. Only learning experiences!
