pull'n cable

ya it would be nice if they were 2' deep.

but then again that means i have to spend another $100 and 3hrs of time to rent a trencher.

half of them are temporary as the trailer that 2 of the runs come from, will be gone in a few years once we have the house built. So at that point when im forced to redo the system, i may consider puting them deeper.

Not to be the ***** of the group but did you pull the same romex through your trenches that you have looped on your ripper? It looks like it is just standard NM THHN.
Usually burial romex has a grey type sheath and has a UF type part number. UF stands for underground feed. It has a different sheathing on it that is designed to keep water out and keep the conductors from touching if they are pinched together (to a certain extent).

this picture: http://www.snjschmidt.com/pics/05-28...%20(Large).jpg appears to show UF grey romex being pulled, not the white (14/2?) that is looped around the drawbar.
