[TowerTalk] Split Loom as an anti-critter device?

[Scott Townley]

New to the Northeast, and all the critters that eat...well, everything 
when it gets cold enough.

I am planning on running a length of FSJ-4 (1/2" Andrews superflex) from 
the house to the end of the back yard.  In the spring I will bury it, 
but until then it needs to sit on top of the lawn.  I worry about 
something eating through it--although it's pretty hefty for something to 
chew on, it wouldn't surprise me.

I was thinking I'd put the cable in say a 1" or 1-1/2" split cable loom, 
just as an extra cover to fend off teeth.  Dumb? Unnecessary?  What does 
the Collective Wisdom say?

TIA,
