[BITList] Earths

[HUGH]

Frank,

The soil depth in our area varies from zero to a couple of feet - trees tend to have shallow roots and fall over in high winds.  Bare rock abounds - it used to be moorland.  To get the requisite depth and slope for sewers, etc, in front of our houses,  the local council must have blasted or otherwise formed a trench.  The soil level of our back garden was artificially created - I recall how it was before the houses were built.  So, not much chance of driving in an earth rod here.  They'd have to convince me the present arrangements are actually, as opposed to notionally, dangerous.  Carried to an extreme, this would mean our area can't have an electrical supply.

Hugh.
