[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1072432, member: 369937"] If they (the thieves) don't see you do it, they won't know it's there. Also the deeper the better, can you rent a trenching tool called a "Ditch Witch" makes life a hole lot easier....:)...Get it...Hole.... On some AM radio sites we put some concrete pads over the ground grid, a 4x8 foot concrete pad 4 inches thick needs a back hoe to move it. In my case I used copper tubing, I drilled some holes in it, and when needed I pump salt brine through it, keeps the old ground system working, it's been there for 14 years. My ground here at the ranch is very poor as to conductivity, it is loam about 6 to 12 inches or so, then shale, then granite, we also get some mighty big lighting storms, so I need the best ground system as I can get. When I planted some fruit trees I had to dig a big hole with a back hoe, then make up a nice plug of dirt. [/QUOTE]
