So here's my question. Is it ok to have multiple shallow grounding
rods versus one longer grounding rod? For example, what's the
difference between 2 four foot rods versus 1 eight foot rod?

Dan, you didn't mention the type of ground you're seeking (safety, RF
or lightining). If lightining, here's a good place to start.

Sorry, I should have been somewhat more specific. I'm looking to
create an RF ground.


If it's an RF ground for an antenna, radials, buried or elevated,
would be better than ground rod(s).
