The idea of notched to accept the wire is a good idea. I wrapped wire
around the pipe and
soldered it but the wire doesnt always wrap tight. If you drove a pipe in
the ground and sawed
several notches length ways you should be able to stack many wires in the
notches,, stacking
many in the same notch, fan them out on the ground,,,,

Good idea
