Hi Mel...
                I use buried plastic 4 inch conduit. I have inspection
hatches at all corners and bends . These are concrete paving slabs. I have a
"fish wire" lying in all these conduits, to pull in a new cable when
required. It really tidies things up, AND greatly helps with keeping
electrical noise out of the rig...
