Re: [IRCA] Have Roto-tiller Will Travel (BUG)

["R. F. Tetro" <rtetro@xxxxxxxxx>]

I use a Black and Decker electric edger for doing this.  It is
"convertible" to a "trencher" and makes a cut about three inches deep.
I've used it for burying coax, ground radials, and so on.  It does the
job well.

I have an electric edger out in the garage and I'll try to take a look 
later and see if the guide that fits against the concrete of the 
sidewalk can be removed to allow the thing to just cut a deep slit. It 
might work for burying a wire. The slit that the rotating blade makes 
isn't too wide, so it might be just the ticket for slipping a wire into.

The cutting depth is controlled by a rolling depth wheel, so you might 
have to remove that and add a skid or something. It might take some 
slight modification to get the thing perfected.

If an edger would work, you could cut sod pretty fast.
