Not a good thing for longevity and for possible joint issues causing all
sorts of problems. In Puerto Rico barbed wire has been used a AM radio
stations with a least a 5 year life span. Personally my choice is Green
#16 THNN (Lowes or Home Depot for $27.50 a roll) which is stranded and
covered. I do not bury it since the grass seems to gooble it up so I
can mow over it after few months.
