This is really the only answer. Both wires come from the hot and cold terminals of the power supply.
For pouring water on your PS ground rod, you'd have to have a continuous wet surface all around your yard for that to work.
I don't use a ground rod at all. I just tie the low side to one of the strands of fence wire and let it go at that. The multiple strands and posts distribute it.
