10ft is definitely not enough for practical use. In order to heat a rural house with a heatpump connected to geothermal you need in order of 200-300ft deep hole, at least here in Finland.


For ground source heat pumps you have two approaches. Either you have deep hole. Or you have a large field. In later case not as much depth is needed, but you do need much larger area.


Good point and very true!
