Use for Radials
I tell you, I went to my local hardware store and asked for any spools of
wire on clearance. I told them even spools that were cut offs that they
couldn't sell because someone cut off some of it but there was still a bit
left. I got a great deal on a whole spool. It was white insulated single
stranded wire. OK, no problem, once the grass covers it up, no one will ever
notice. When I put it down, people asked about the white wires on the ground
but that didn't last long.
