Dear Jay, I see someone already told you about the "EASY" way to sink ground rods. The water method "really" works in Missouri. It takes more than a cup of water but a bucket full should do the job.

Question and comment re ground rod insertion: Comment - I've read that the "water method" is not a good idea because the soil is not in tight contact with the rod, and the decreased surface area of c

In this area we have a difficult time getting past the hard pan so we put the rod in at a 45 deg angle. I believe that depth isn't important but that a 8 Ft rod at 45 deg is just as effective. John -

It sounds like you are effectively reducing the contact area between the ground rod and the soil. I'm not certain that by leaching salty water into the surrounding soil you make up for the contact ar
