The gold standard that power companies us is a device called a Megger. I
think a company called Bindel or something close to that makes them.
However, I bought an Extech 382152 ground tester kit. I think it lists for
$200. I searched around the web and found a guy selling them for around
$145.
Here, I have a sandy soil with little clay content so I souped the site up
with bentonite and epson salts. I started out with 15 ohms and ended with
only 4...provided things are moist.-James KB4RMN
