If you're doing it in a lawn just "sew them in" a good straight line so the
radial is at ground level and then make some U shape pins out of whatever
you have and pin them down. Stretch the radial as tight as possible before
pinning. You'll be surprised how easy it is and how well it works and after
about 2 or 3 mowings you won't be able find them, that is if have a lawn.

Someone suggested this over the last few days.

As I'm having trouble with soil sticking to the spade
and creating a hole when the spade is pulled up
instead of just a slit, could someone redescribe the
meat cleaver technique?
