R is right about the GFCI and the 12" in a dwelling. Deeper is always
better but with a GFCI in the house 12" will work.

Our local building inspector wants 24" no matter what. If you are
concerned about local code, you may want to check.






Last house I rebuilt had a shed with power. Shed off ground on cinder
blocks. Wire through pipe from shed floor to ground. Pipe ended couple of
inched below the surface. At house, pipe comes out of ground. Pipe also
ends a few inched below the surface. Strapped to siding kept it from
tipping over. Out of open pipe end is NM cable with male indoor plug
attached. Plug blades very green. End of pipe filled with silicone around
wire. Plug put into an actual outdoor duplex cover. This outlet just
tapped into one of the bedroom circuits. Shed had no less than 15
combined duplexes and lights.

I am no electrician but I don't think this person was concerned about
local code...or human life for that matter.
