You don't put the end of the cable in a pickle jar filled with water?

Totally ineffective. The proper way earth your cable is into the
nearest available plant-pot.
People did this in the days of Mr Marconi and aspidistra plants, so
it must be all right... maybe you'd better talk to the plant first, to
make sure the pot is filled with genuine earth.

I've heard of using an "artificial ground". Is this where you fill the
pot with vermiculite or styrofoam?

Exactly. You're really getting the hang of it now.
