"Sarge" verbositized:

I used a lawn edger....

Then you had dirt sprayed everywhere!

Using the meat cleaver I stretched the wires above ground first, slid
the wire through an eyehook and cut along the edge of the wire. The
eyehook did the burying of the wire as I moved along the ground.
When I was done, I was done! And the yard suffered no damage!
And it probably went a whole lot quicker than wrestling with a lawn
edger, getting the wire into the slot and holding it in place while
you covered the hole, and got rid of the dirt that sprayed all over
the place.
