Common earth connector

Hi, what is the best and cheapest way of taking several earth wires from light switches, tap pump etc, to ground.
Can you use a 4or 6 fuse holder/ box with one main take off that then goes to the main ground, or am I being daft.
My way of thinking and to look ok, is to use two of these type of fuse boxes , one for the power supply and one for the earth .
Any ideas help would be great
Thanks

earth crowns are screw down spade terminal connectors with multiple tabs, you have them by your fusebox for this very purpose, trying to find them on ebay .....

You can also get small busbars and switch to ring terminals.
