sometimes only put the rods into the ground a couple inches then cut them off to make it appear that they were driven in to proper depth. I drove one in the nice New Mexican soil for my greenhouse. Took about an hour and I thought my arms were going to fall off.

My understanding is that the rods could be installed horizontally at about 8 inched depth.

Next time get a large hammer drill with a ground rod attachment. Goes in like butter. (Btw, I'm an electrical contractor and I don't know how I got along without it.)

Utah requires grounding rods to be sunk 8 feet deep in dry soils.
