If they are too close they are not as effective. Real close it is more like
using a larger diameter ground rod, just more surface area of rod touching
the soil.. Some how 20 or 25 feet apart seems to ring a bell as the minimum
distance for maximum effectiveness. Of course differing soil conditions
could change that and I may be totally wrong on my remembering.
