Hello all,

I managed to get hold of 4 reels of thick copper wire (plastic 
insulated, normally used for domestic power wiring) and plan to bury 
them in the lawn.

Each reel is 100m (~325 feet) long, and the lawn is about 50m x 15m (160 
x 60 feet).

Question is: should I:

1. cut each length in half and lay down 8 radials of 50m (160 ft) each, 
or

2. leave the lengths uncut and lay down 4 radials of 100m (325 ft) each 
that loop back on themselves, or

3. cut each length into 4 pieces and lay down 16 radials of 25m (80ft) 
each?

Or any other suggestions?
