It's not spam: they CAN'T tell us how deep to bury the conduit
because this requirement varies from area to area. They specifically
say on the website, "As you can see, this trench is thigh-deep, about
24 to 28 inches deep. Local electrical codes will specify the minimum
depth of a buried conduit, so contact your local building department."
The site is edited by a man who lives in northern Ontario, but he
doesn't indicate his own code, wisely as it might be vastly different
from anyone else's.

I'm still trying to get an answer from my own city building code
dept., and I thought that 48" code requirement in Calif. was
interesting (must be for earthquake reasons).
