[TowerTalk] Using riding mower to run radials (2nd Try)

[Gene Smar]

TT:

     I make/made my staples out of wire shirt hangers.  Cut a piece about 8
inches long, bend it in half - vi-oh-la - staple!  Some of mine have been in
the ground since 1998, and I have buried about a half-mile of varying gauge
wire sizes in the front and side yards this way.
