Foil or meshed strap. You can also bundle several copper wires together. Do a search on radials counterpoise to get more information on gauge and number of loops within the bundle.

There are a couple of other threads on this if you do a quick search. Someone suggested copper flashing (roofing material) from Home Depot. Great idea.
