sure, but wouldn't that trip the amp loss breaker? (dunno how you would call it, it's a breaker that measures the difference in amps between the 2 wires.. anything goes into the ground, difference, breaker trips).
or don't you guys use those?

My entire house won't permit any loss over 400 milliamps..

I would think that a wet wire in the ground would surely cause amps down in the ground, triggering an amp loss breaker?
