How is everyone else doing it? I seem to do just as good or better with three 4' pieces of clean rebar spaced 6' apart over a copper rod 8' in the ground. It is pretty hard to drive a smallish rod that far in the ground around here.
That is exactly the same setup I have only one would only go 4' before rock If it gets dry, 3 buckets of water help.
