Hardware store... grey electrical plastic conduit.  A 10 foot x 1" stick 
will cost about $2.00.

BTW, always put in at least one size bigger than you think you'll ever 
need.  And, once the ditch is open... put in a spare conduit, too.

It's recommended that you drill drain holes at the lowest point of the 
run.  I've done it both with and without drain holes.  In fact, I just 
pulled out a 10 gauge 4 conductor run from some conduit in preparation 
to pulling in 6 gauge wire....  the 10 gauge was bone dry and it's been 
down there for at least a year without any drain holes.
