Look in the lawn sprinker section at Home Depot or Lowes for a tip you glue onto the end of the PVC pipe. I know they have 3/4 inch, but not sure of any other sizes. It will look like a small funnel that slides over the end of the pipe on one end.
I forget if it comes wtih a male end for the hose on the other end or not. If not, you can buy a 3/4 to half inch male fitting for it.
dig a hole deep enough and long enough to feed the pipe through so you can keep the pipe level. You need holes dug on both sides, but only the entrance side needs to be long enough for the pipe to fit in it.
If your on a hill, try to create a way to get the water out of the hole while it's running. One side might be better to start on than the other. Just a small trench will make a huge difference if you can.
If not, you will be working under water, which isnt' that big a deal, just do it on a warm day!!!
How deep you go is also up to you. If your area freezes, that should be taken into consideration, but what ever the depth of the rest of the line is should be good.
No need to force it through too hard, the water will do all the work, just keep feeding it in until your through.
