Re: Weather/coil performance

An 'old time trick' for boosting a ground was to bury charcoal,
or equivalent.  My guess is the environmental impact of
modest/reasonable amounts of salt is minimal, but charcoal
(coal, coke (the fuel: not the soft drink.8)>>) also used),
less impact.

Dang,  that would spoil a lot of barbeques.   Actually,  didn't Tesla 
somehow have the walls of his ground tunnels 'carbonized'?

I wonder how fast a 'vulnerable' coil form (Sonotube) reacts
to huidity.  Lacking measurements, I'd think it would take
time for 'humidity' to soak in/out.

I just priced sonotube here....it's a relatively dry climate, so it 
would probably be ok,  but dang....it's expensive for a piece of 
cardboard.    I think I'll hold off and go with pvc, or better yet pe, or pp.
