Default Dipole advise WTD

Hi.
I want to put up a receiving dipole for 0 - 30 mhz SWL.
I have a roll of 75 ohm tv coax.
Loads of stranded 2.5mm copper insulated electrical cable.
Questions;
What length should i cut the dipole for general 0 - 30 mhz listening ?
I will need to fold both ends to fit into my narrow garden .. is this ok ?
Do i need any form of earthling to the coax feed ?
Do i need a balun.. if so which and how do i build one ?
Thank you.
All advise appreciated
Jeff
