To the original poster, I would use ten feet of 3/4" galvanized water
pipe driven into the ground. Or connect to a metal well casing if there
happens to be one nearby. What country are you in?

Best regards,

I have driven slightly larger galvanized by running water through a hose in
the middle of the pipe. Goes down quite fast. Galvanized corrodes rather
rapidly.
