Shane, years ago I did what Lambbrook mentioned below. I pounded 4 short ground rods about three feet apart, and that method seemed to provide enough ground. However at my latest beeyard I rented a gasoline post pounder for the weekend which cost $70.00. In about one hour I pounded all those fence posts and two 7' ground rods completely. Gasoline powered is the way I'll go for now on. Also I've heard of people digging a shallow trench to lay the ground rod. The key is to keep the area moist to establish the conductivity.
Any piece of wire to ground will work.but youstill need ground rod .don't think post will carry good.as long as it's raining every couple of days it mightwork

If you have some, maybe 3, 2 ft pieces of grounding rod, pound them in about 6ft apart and connect in series to your ground.
You have been busy, maybe more then 1 ground. Not sure buddy sorry.
