Any ideas? How deep do 110 volt wires need to be buried?


24" in open areas, it can be less if it goes under concrete, etc.

Best way to do it might be a day laborer. You could rent
a small walk behind ditch witch type gizom, depending on what's
available in your area. HD might rent them. How practical that
is depends on the cost and what you have to move it.

Dig no deeper than all the wires/pipes you cross in the path.
