That time of year again (DRY)... Have one little pasture that the fence always works (shocks the horses) in the driest weather. Ground rod is 6 or so ft deep and copper clad (?).....
Rest are galvanized pipe about 3ft deep. Fences don't shock the horses when it's this dry (zaps a person pretty good tho).....
So, is my problem depth or copper vs galvanized? Watering the ground rod doesn't seem to help.
Can't really drive a copper pipe that deep, but would I get the same end result if I got a piece of copper that would slide over a half inch galvanized pipe and drive it in the ground???
I have too many pastures to afford the real thing for each...
Thanks.
