    Hello Orchidians, Dave gave a great description on stripping
    electrical wire to get copper wire. 

    If you need longer lengths of wire than you are able to strip, try
    cutting through the insulation (as Dave described) at intervals
    along the wire.  It's easier to pull off a foot of insulation at a
    time as friction is decreased on a shorter length.  Total length of
    recovered copper wire can be about as long as your space and
    patience <g>.

    Time to start planting!
