Hello permies! I am about to run a small electric
fence.(.1 joules for maybe 150 feet of two wire
fence) It will go around a couple of garden beds to stop the raccoons from excavating, as their ongoing search for the biggest earthworm has caused us much strife!
One problem with my plan is that the area is under power lines right behind my house. I hear i need three ground rods 10 feet apart from each other and 50 feet from utility poles and my house electrical system. This wouldnt be possible without going clear to the other end of the property, maybe 100 feet from the fence, which seems like it could cause other problems. Does anyone know how much of a problem it would be to have these ground rods only 20 or 30 feet from these other systems? I have read other sources simply say "far enough" rather than give specific distances. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
