We recently had our yard cleaned up for summer (getting too old for all
the yard work). Running the coax from the 6-pack at the tower to the
AV640 mount, we had cut a slot with the edger and pushed the coax in,
but the up and down in the coax formed by having to push the BuryFlex
into the slot both shortened the run and the coax popped to the surface
in a couple of spots. Just laying the coax in the grass was not
acceptable as the thatcher would pull it up and get tangled up. The yard
crew mentioned they had a small trencher for installing edging (cuts a 4
X 4" trench).  They ran a new, straight trench in less than a couple of
minutes to drop the straightened coax into which was back to the
original length.  This was great for shallow burying of coax, or even 3"
PVC conduit.
