@All,
The steps of making of the Composite Earth Battery continues

0889 = Drilling the Positive disk electrode holes to take the nylon bolts
          Use a small drill first, copper snags drills and could teare.
0890 = Drilling the Negative Steel Electrode holes.
0891 = Making sure the nylon bolts fit the hole drilled for them
0899 = Copper electrode needs a copper lead connector.
          A 1/2" flattened copper pipe does this very well
          I didn't want to add solder to the mix.
0900 = Electrode disks completed, all holes drilled, connections atatched.
0901 = EB cell is now assembled, leads now atatched to both electrodes
0903 = EB cell is seen edge on
0909 = The lead out leads (wires) will go underground to the fence.
           In the summer, the lawn can be mowed right over the battery.
0912 = EB composite cell is now in the ground, last check over.
0913 = All done.

That earth battery looks good!
Lets see what happen.

@All,
Here is a few extra bits I decided to add, they go into making the Composite Earth Battery

Looking at the diagram, I saw that there was a copper lead out wire and a steel lead out wire, so I hunted around my wire pile and found just wat I needed to do the job.
A plastic insulated steel wire.

0902 = I test for steel content using my very powerful Neo magnets, yes its steel.
0905 = Connecting the copper wire to the copper disk
0911 = Filled to the brim with earth, I had some special rocks to crush and place     
          here instead, I forgot where I put them, spent at least an hour looking, never
          mind, good old fashioned earth will have to do.
0910 = I needed some wires to feed the Composite Earth Battery into the house, I
          pressed an old extension lead into service, OFF came its socket quick smart,
          snip. 

I now have a total of four earth batteries spread all over the place, they all have individual lead-in wires through my kitchen window, it's very cold out side right now, and I'm blowed if I'm going to freeze my fingers and toes off to take measurements.

Hello Jesus,
It's early days yet, havent got a clue what will happen, mabe it will get wet and dissolve ha ha.

So far the output with no load is .771 volt, its not much.
I'ts wait and see time.

@ Gadgetmal,
We are all concerned for you.
Are you ok?
