Tom,

If there is grass all the way from your window to the place you want to put 
the ground rod, you can just make a slit in the ground with the tip of a 
spade or if you are a little patient, you could do it with a garden trowel. 
If you need to go to a specific spot, stick a stake in the ground at each 
end and tie a string or wire between them to use as a guide so as to go 
straight.  You could get a garden trowel for probably under $5 at 
Wallyworld.
