So yeah, was way overthinking this. Started with a ~4" trench to bury the cable and just let the hose fill it while I dug.
After that took 3-4 pounds of the t-post driver to send em in. We're still new on the land and adjusting to what I'm used to in SW WA. Here it's just all loamy soil and hay field so pretty easy to work. We'll see how well it does once we get some fence hooked up to it but the 3x6' rods should be a large improvement over our old system.
Cleaned up pretty nice all said and done, last place we had 4" sticking out since it was almost impossible to drive a rod in that soil.
This is also a good precursor to getting the ham shack setup, that's going to get some serious grounding put in place.
