Small ditch diggers are usually available at Home Depot here and
certainly at rental yards. For aggregated materials try and find one
with carbide teeth, which last 10x longer than hardened steel.
Also, cable companies use what is essentially a carbide toothed circular
saw blade trencher, just big enough for RG6 or RG11. I think that is
what you need to rent or find a cable co. moonlighter for some Saturday
work. A rental concrete saw is another choice.
Some folks even use a chain saw for the slot.

Or replacing tines of a roto-tiller with carbide tipped blades, but that
takes a bit of metal working

Any suggestions on burying radials in the desert sands of Kingman AZ? Radials
placed on the surface just stay there and are constant tripping hazards.
The desert sand is like rock. The top 1/4 inch is loose sand but below that
it's like rock. You vertually need a pick axe to loosen the sublayer. One
option is to pick axe a shallow trench for each radial in the desert sun, but
tripping over the radials would be a better alternative.
Any suggestions?
I'm really getting tired of tripping over the radials of Jess, AI9L's radial
field.
