</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I know this wasn't your original question, but when it came time to lay wire out to our garage, the electrician told us to bury it deep. Also, part of it was going under a driveway.. perhaps that's why. We got in a backhoe and put it about 3 feet down. Also, we're in upstate NY and the temperatures and frost might have a bearing on this. )</font>
Oh yeah..I understand that. Where I can and DO have any "traffic"...mine is 3 ft deep and inside 2 inch plastic conduit...but then again my RV is parked on top of it with 20,000 axle weight!!! This work is all back yard stuff..and soil will be ADDED over it for flower beds, etc...and you can barely get my B3030 in the back yard. I could probably "get by" with 3 inches deep...but I'll about as far down as the tractor / subsoiler can EASILY dig...whatever that is?
