Ref my saying that galvanized will work (pure surmise on my part) and
aluminum has its problems; and N4KG's experience with aluminum that worked
well: that's good information, Tom, and thanks for the post.
I see that you also have done OK with aluminum TV cable. Near here, NQ9Q
tried that and it didn't last a year before the soil ate it. You have
yours in open trenches. Maybe that's the key. I've got a huge spool of
it, and was planning to put down plastic pipe to contain it. Maybe the
open trench will save me a lot of work.
It also makes me wonder whether the soil here might be highly acidic.

Larry, N9DX
