Direct burial is not cost effective in sweat equity.  Bury cheap conduit
once and try dozens of different
coax until you get one you like.  Just solder the new to the old and pull it
through easy as pie.  3/4
inch pipe is $1.24 for a 10 foot stick.  That's $12.40 for a 100 foot run.
Would you redig a 100 foot run for the lack
of spending 12 bucks?  The issue of standing water can be dealt with easily.

my 1,240 cents worth,
