All kidding aside, I have a 18 inch long piece of 2 & 1/2 inch diameter 
pipe with a cap on one end. I put the pipe over the rod and use my weight 
to drive it in as far as I can then I use the pipe as a drop hammer on the 
rod until the pipe hits the ground. I use a sledgehammer to finish it the 
last foot. It's similar in design to using a manual fence post setting 
tool. (Which also works really well if you can find/afford one.)
