Default How to construct an electrical ground in the soil? (please, practical advice, no code fightings)

Hi,

I have no ground on my house. I bought a surge protector for my PC but I
realized that it doesn't works if not connected to a real ground. The water
pipes are plastics so I can't attach the ground wire to it. But I have a
garden of soil very near the surge protector I want to ground so I'm
considering to build a ground by myself. What I need to do? Just clamp a
copper tube on the soil (how many inches)? I hear coal helps to make the
grounding better... What I ned to do?. Just consider I'll need to work with
basic materials. I'm not living in US. My country have no construction codes
(at least nobody takes care of them) so please give me some real practical
guidance. I'm telling this 'cause I've been looking around in this group and
the only I've found about the topic is people fighting around construction
code interpretation but none practical guidance on how to build a working
grounding

Thanks in advance, any hint is welcomed
Sammy
