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

Rene',
 
The B&D tool is indeed a good one. I use mine for burying coax from the
house, across 10 feet of grass to a row of shrubs, and then the coax just
runs beneath the bushes to the greenbelt behind the house. I couldn't
believe how quickly the 2" deep slit for the coax was created, the first
time I tried it! Sure beats trying to slice through the sod by hand. 
 
I only wish I had access to a few hundred feet of level ground "in the
clear" for trying a BUG. I'm considering a BOG in the greenbelt, but there's
lots of fallen tree trees, poisonous plants and blackberry bushes (ouch),
and other obstacles to work around. That's why I gave up on maintenance of
the Beverages and currently use a rotating ALA100 and a passive broadband
loop on the edge of the property.

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.
