With the back garden being only 45ft x 22ft radials, regardless of 
their number, are pretty ineffective on MF. Over the years I have 
tried all sorts of things, and there is quite a lot of wire buried 
under the lawn and a few earth spikes. I have concluded that whatever 
I do it is a losing battle.
