[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 791841, member: 391"] My son was having trouble where he worked with the dry soil. Getting the fence going better was critical as they are surrounded by Raleigh. He ended up putting in a new ground rod (added to the three already there) only this one was aluminum .He augured the hole then dug it deeper by hand- he filled the hole with layers of dirt and salt and left a depression hole at the top that he filled with water every day. Solved his problem. At his place the soil has a low mineral level so it doesn't conduct well under stress. Our place is very high in minerals( esp copper) so ours works well even when its dry with just two ground rods and no ground wires. I hate poly wire- its great when its new but it doesn't take long before wires start to break. Thats the beginning of the end. [/QUOTE]
