not conduct well. If it is not possible to drive a rod all the way in, avoid

leaving a large amount above the ground. (Short metal lengths can pick up 
signals like AM car radio antennas did years ago)


Carl and all,

For safety reasons ground rods should NOT stick out of the ground. If one
would fall on one it would do some serious damage.
I dig a hole about 1 foot deep and drive the rod to below ground level. They
go in easy in most soils with a large impact hammer.
