Russ and Marc, Thx for your answers.
I guess what I could do that might do the trick, now that it's time to start mowing again... cut the grass as short as possible, lay the antenna wires down as close to the ground as possible, use lawn staples to hole the wire in place, and then the lawn clippings and earthworms will eventually bury the wires. If I put in a 60 degree turn, I could manage to get in 200' that way quite easily.
