[TowerTalk] digging radials

[Bob Shohet, KQ2M]

What about laying the radials on the ground – and then covering with ~ 1 1/2” of top soil?  The New England weeds will quickly grow on top and then you can mow right over them.  In a few months you won’t even know that they were there.

Would love to rent one of those, but no known options for that here in rural west-central NH.

I have not used an edger, but I think it will be slow going especially if you try to go deep.  The manual says:

 

“NOTE: There are 5 cutting depth settings from approximately ground level to 2.5” (63 mm) deep. Do not overload the edger capacity by attempting to edge too deep at too fast a rate. To edge at deeper settings, make multiple passes, first cutting at shallow depths.”

 

This would be a good way, but expensive to buy.  I think renting one might work: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/142313439152?lpid=82 <http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/142313439152?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true> &chn=ps&ul_noapp=true
