You don't need an expensive 'kit'! Just take any old wire and make two 
1/4 wavelength radials for each band -- a total of 12 radials. Try to 
make them as symmetrical as possible, with the two 40 meter radials 
opposite each other, etc.

The ends of the radials must be well-insulated, since even though they 
are connected to the coax braid at the center, they will develop 
high-ish voltages at the ends.
