[Shop-talk] Does the ground ground?

[Pat Horne]

James,

Possibly. It depends on what soil you have. If it is sand, then it is 
not grounded well, but if it is clay that stays somewhat moist, then 
yes, it is grounded. Either way, I wouldn't worry about it. If you are 
are concerned, add a GFCI at the house to monitor that circuit.

Peace,
Pat
