Default Electric fence wire for rf ground radials

If I used electric fence wire for my RF ground radials, how long do you all
think it would last?

I know the type of soil matters so lets go almost worst case, lets not go
so far as to say it has a high salt content.
I am just looking for something fast and cheap that I can do when I move to
my new QTH and will add proper copper wire, one by one as I can afford or
find deals on something better.
Do you think it may last a year or so?

Thanks Joe
