[600MRG] Advice needed

[Warren K2ORS]

Neil,

       I have seen many posts recommending kaolinite, a clay that is 
commonly found in cat liter. Kaolinite absorbs and holds moisture, and 
will not corrode your metal ground rods.  However,it means digging a 
wider hole in the ground, and filling it with the clay - not easy if you 
have rocky soil. Supposedly putting in several ground rods spaced equal 
to their length and tying them together will lower ground resistance.

I am assuming this will help with my ground resistance into this very rocky soil. My question is "will the salt water corrode my copper rod and eventually ruin my efforts?
