Just my thoughts - I've done that quite often with poly-wire. It works fine for short periods (couple of years). Over time, the connections will wear out. You'll get arcing over the splice, if the knots aren't absolutely tight. Then you get carbon build up in that area and subsequent oxidation which reduces the conductivity. Also, the wires are thin and they can eventually burn out in all the wrong places when they're arcing.
Plus, changes in temperature over time will loosen the knots on you and you may not know you've lost any juice until one day someone tells you that you're cows are out! Been there, done that! I've used electrical tape to ensure the knots stay together but that is still only temporary because it degrades in the elements too.
Best thing I ever did was finally rip it all out and run steel wire. Guaranteed to get a better connection on all splices than you ever could with poly-wire. Was cheaper too, if I recall correctly.
