Topband: Burying radials

[Mike Bragassa]

My near neighbor tried the on-top-of-the-ground method and it did not work 
well at. Years later you could still very visibly see the radials.
I think the success depends, in part, on the type of grass you have. Of 
course, I am talking about yard-grass and not pasture. Here,  we have San 
Augustine yard grass that grows into the ground (as normal) but also grows 
(mostly)  on top horizontal. It can go above the radial wire (nice) but it 
is just as apt to grow under the radial. Snakey stuff!

I use a gasoline edger with 2-3 blades. Makes it easier to be a bit wider 
than one blade allows.

I wish I had known about the G3OFW method of an " S" shaped tube... Tamping 
the wire into the trench is back-breaking! ( I tamp the sides of the trench 
every six or so inches to hold the copper wire in the trench.)
