Topband: Ground Radials

[Fred Cresce]

Hello Fellow TopBand ops,
I have a small "wonder" vertical on my wooded lot. And I would like to construct an inverted L , also needing a ground screen. There's about 50 radials for both antennas already laid out on the ground with some sod staples holding the radials down. I'm one of those types of fellows who likes to keep the lot clean and fairly free from the leaves and the twigs and branches. My ground radials are really catching hell from the raking.I  also notice on my clumsy days, that I'm tripping over these radial wires too. Blowing leaves with my backpack blower is better, but there is a time where they need to be raked into the Chipper / shredder machine.I might answer my own question here. It looks like I have to use a LOT more sod clamps every couple of feet to nail down these radials, before I destroy my entire RF system. Are there other ways to create a ground screen? I understand that chicken wire is a good thing for RF ground, but how much of that would be equal to the individual wires I'm using now? What are the rest of yous guys doing that have ground radials in a woods situation? I would appreciate some innovative ways around this ground radial problem.
Thanks for any help.
