So what do you use for a ground rod? Most guys around here just drive a fence post upside down...I'm thinking a copper rod would be better but we do have a clay base soil that holds moister pretty well but this time of year the top foot or so is pretty dry...
I did buy a pemark dolor unit...the bigger one....
Around here, copper rods are scarce, but the galvanized steel rods and copper connectors seem to work about as well, so that's the way we do it.
I don't know if there would be too much resistance with a plain steel post or not. The current will flow on the outside of whatever conductor you use and zinc is right up there with lead and copper for conductivity. If you gold plate your ground rod, you won't have ANY problems with a bad ground.
