It all depends on your ground conditions I suppose but gentle hammering
of 4 ft copper pipe works here.
Although the ewe reduces signals from the rear well, I would suggest you
consider a flag.
I'm only able to run the flag with the bottom wire lying on the ground,
and fed at the bottom rather than midway down the downward legs -
otherwise it would be an obstruction. It should be raised up clear of
the ground - but I still get a far better null with this compromise than
with the ewe.
Of course the more copper you put in the ground the better the null on
the ewe should become.

I'm planning on sitting up a few EWE's over the next few weekends. How
much ground rod do EWEs require? Would 4' copper pipe be sufficient?
Also, does anyone have any advice on a easy way to put a copper pipe
in the ground? I believe I read something years ago about using a
garden hose connected to the copper pipe and the water allows you put
the ground rod in without hammering. Of course, I may have just
dreamed this up :)
