I need to improve my ground system, and am thinking of burying some radials
under the lawn.

[I realise this is not the most efficient way to do it from an electrical
point of view, but the alternative approach of installing the radials
above the ground is completely out of the question, for aesthetic
reasons].

Some practical questions:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. What is the "best" type of wire (or braid) to use for the radials?

2. How do I bond the radials together? (I guess my 15-watt soldering iron
won't be up to the job ...).

I would use a blowtorch (But I am used to using one).
The secret is not to overheat things.
Its a kind of dabbing technique to get up to temperature.
