Topband: Edger for burying ground radials ?

[W2pm]

I've used edgers and they create a nice slice in the ground but it's  
still a chore to run the radials in same without staples. So I just  
staple the wires to the ground now in a grassy area. The lawnmowing  
and leaf raking takes a toll but it's simple to replace the wires in  
the winter before ground freezes.

I think the best method for in ground radials is a plow type rig just  
like as shown in on4uns book.  Use an old license plate for the blade.
