I use 1/2" copper pipe 2.5'-3' long which easily drives into my ground with
an end cap on the top.  One 10' pipe costing $6 will make 3-4 ground rods.
I even reuse temporary Beverage ground rods put in agricultural fields by
pulling them up with a vise grip each Spring, but of course it depends on
what type of soil you have.
