Hi all,

Another method which is extremely easy (and discussed on this list years 
ago) is to dig a small hole, fill it with water, and then drive your ground 
rod down into it by hand, using an up and down motion.  The rod practically 
slips into the soil, and you just add water to the hole as needed.

Zap!
