- 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 -
