Recently St. Croix was wired across the 27 mile length with yellow
tubular fiber conduit designed for direct burial. When the huge truck
mounted cable reels had tails of 20 and 30 feet left over I picked them
up and plan to use them under the lawn for my feedlines. They are 2" ID
so they should be able to take all the RG-6 I run to Beverages that the
field rats like to chew into. I have even though of trying to split
them with a skill saw for an easier application but sort of gave up that
idea and prefer to leave them whole. Putting through a #14 solid THNN
wire is no problem for a pull wire and cutting off the F-connectors that
run to the torioid decoupling bank at the shack is not any big deal.

I have pretty different needs on a mountain top in Western Colorado… I need to
shield my cables from pack rats who will chew on it. I use very inexpensive irrigation
tubing which is made for in ground lawn sprinkling systems. This can be buried or tied
in runs above ground.
