In this video, I show a simple way to bury boundary wire for my Lyfco 1750 robot mower using just a knife sheath. I needed to reroute the wire to protect my daffodils, and this low-tech method actually worked surprisingly well. If you’re setting up or adjusting your boundary wire and don’t want to rent or buy special tools, this might give you an idea. A no-fuss DIY method using what you have at hand.

Thanks man.. very useful
Don’t do this , if the wire is underground when the summer comes the ground dries and shrinks stretching the wire until it breaks. I know I did it
battery angle grinder, drill 2 holes into cutting plate (1 top, one bottom) and insert 2 small short screws with nut into each hole,
This way ditch for wire will be created in no time.
Thank you, extremely useful. Can you please share a link to the 3-way connectors?
I used my edger to make the line originally.
Now I just lay it on top of the grass if I have repairs, that is low enough until the grass grows.
It is right that what i need .Starting today emidiatly,thanks!
Even easier is to use an angle grinder with a stone cutting disc, then feed the wire through an easy to bend tube, I used a 3mm brass tube, bent to go parallell with the ground.
30min for 180m cable (if a friend goes in front of you with the angle grinder).
Oil the spade, it will stop the turf sticking to it !
What is the name and manufacturer of the hand tool you used to place the wire into the ground at a specific depth level? Is this commercially available? If so, can you recommend a source where I may purchase one?
Instead of trying to cut the channel with a spade. Try using a pizza cutter.
For a moment I thought u we’re trying to kickstart the spade ,
Awesome idea! I will be using this for the cable I need to re run
Great idea
I used an edging tool to cut the trench.
What sort of voltage/ resistance is needed for these cables? I have an area I’d like to use a robot mower that has no access to power. I’m wondering if it’s possible to run it off some kind of battery?
