I have about 15 Delta pegs which are excellent, but I understand that if the ground gets hard (we all know we are going to have a dry summer, eventually!) I would need rock pegs. Will I need one for every pegging point? This would be a lot but, if no other pegs would go in, I suppose I would.

Also, are rock pegs a hazard to feet?!

if you get the ones with a green plastic top you can hammer then right into the ground so nothing that is going to rip your toe off is protruding. they have a hole in the green platisc bit that I thread a small amount of luminous guy rope through so there is an easily seen loop that I can hook my claw hammer through for extracting the peg. And remember, the best thing for whacking rock pegs in is a proper hammer, not a rubber mallet.

Do you use a rock peg for every pegging point when the ground is hard ?

Hiya, I usually do, on all the pegging points. I use both the rock and hard ground pegs, so i have both at hand, So i may have a mixture of pegs depending on the particular spot were i am pegging out, does that make sense.

What is the difference between rock pegs and hard ground pegs?

Unless weight is an issue, I'd never use anything but rock pegs (unless camping on sand). And yes, I'd peg out every pegging point and guy rope.

If you need them, then it will be for all pegging points, because nothing else will hammer in.

All camping shops sell them.
