I have a mundane question.

Does anyone have suggestions for installing ground rods in rocky soil? The
topsoil on my property tends to be very shallow, at times only 12 in. deep.
I would rather use earth ground and not go the route of an artificial
ground.

I used a rotary impact drill in my rocky soil. I had to grind a littl off
of the rod to get it to fit but worked fine.

BTW, don;t use the RS ground rod. Very thin plating
