Oh, NO! NO! Don't dig up any wire, bury it!
- 'Doc

You know, Home Depot has some tools you can rent that will make the digging much easier. Another easier way to do it is to get a very flat shovel...like the kind that landscapers use to cut sod, or roofers use to remove composite shingles. Just place step on it hard straight down to make a nice cut in the ground, wiggle the handle back and forth to widen the cut and stuff the wire down. It's a lot easier than digging.

Pretty much what I was doing Mole, but I used a standard flat blade shovel. The problem with following my back fence is my neighbor has ivy that grows through my fence, I had to chop through the ivy, and all the roots in my soil just to get a shallow trench to bury the wire. either way I do it, it's labor intensive.

I'll add more radials over time as I find more scrap wire, and the inspiration hits me to do it.....
