[Antennas] Re: Mesh vs Radials THE POSITIVES !!

[Jerry Forwood]

You might also check with your sod supplier as to his thoughts on guarantee of its growth potential over copper mesh.  Especially if you were to overlap it for good coverage as one posting suggested.
Why not put a copper roof on your house and mount the antenna on top of the roof?  It would be elevated, have a solid metal field under it, and even give you and your family some protection from the RF you will be radiating!

While the negatives of the "buried mesh" idea have been
significantly addressed in numerous posts here (ie expense,
deterioration, diminishing returns, effectiveness vs radials,
etc., etc.) some reflection on the positives of this potential 
installation should be addressed as well.

1) A buried mesh system will eliminate pesky boroughing
 rodents from popping holes throughout the yard. 
2) You will not be able to plant all those smelly flowers and
 bushes on the "honey-do" list.
3) Eliminating the above noted vegetation planting will cause
 a huge hassle with "the better half" and with
 her associated storming out of the house will allow more 
 time for you to install the appropriate radial system and play radio.
