			Hi Chuck, 
 
The lawn staples are from DX Engineering (as was the beautiful radial plate 
with bulkhead coax connector). 
They are about 6 inches long, a rectangle, maybe 1 inch wide, and heavy 
enough that you can pound them in with a hammer, as long as your soil isn't 
concrete. Sold in packages of 10 or 20, I think. Quite reasonably priced. I 
only have one staple per wire now (doing it in the middle of winter made me 
move quickly between ice and mud patches). I'll put down a staple every 10' 
or so when things dry out. 
 
Google DX Engineering and you will find there web site. From there it's 
pretty easy to find stuff.
