Description:
"DX Engineering Radial Wire Biodegradable Anchor Pins are intended for turf or softer ground where they may be pushed in (they feature a wide, flat head for your thumb) or lightly tapped with a tool head--NOT driven in with a hammer. Since they are a plastic-like material, they will be subject to breakage when used in rocky or hard soil or subjected to vigorous impact."

Not happy with the experience Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Now my review of these anchor pins is not as glowing as the reviews given on their site. Their description of the product is accurate. Except, I experienced breakage driving them into the ground by hand. They just seemed to break way to easily and lift out of the ground to easily just the same. They're short so it doesn't get far into the ground deep enough to stay at times, but worse is the top cap breaks so easily walking lightly over it let alone rolling your lawn mower over it is all it takes. Doesn't give the grass time enough to pull the wire into the ground like you'd hope it would unless perhaps you have Floridian type grass.

I like the bio-degradable aspect of the product, but a metal staple that usually has very long legs to dig deep enough to pull that wire tight into the ground with out worry of breakage might be worth it.

If you buy them good luck. May work for you, but I'm not satisfied.
