[Boatanchors] Ground rods

[Gary Schafer]

You have still disturbed the earth "around" the hole and near where the 
rod will be.
Conductive material needs to be renewed. It doesn't last for long 
periods. Best to place conductive materials in a shallow hole above the 
rod and water. Or use active chemical ground rods where the ingeidience 
can be renewed from time to time.

But first you have to get the rod in the ground. :>)
