Note that aluminum does not hold up well with some soil chemistry.

A good wire to use for radials is #18 insulated copper. It's cheaper 
than larger wire, large enough to hold up reasonably well, the 
insulation helps it resist corrosion. Electrically, it could be 
smaller and still work fine, but is more likely to be broken.
