[TowerTalk] Trenching tool

[joegps]

I have used a hand trenching tool which is about 4”
wide, great if you don’t mind putting a little effort
into it, I have used it up to a depth of 18”. You can
find one in the usual places.

Four inch black plastic corrugated tubing is available
at Home Depot 
And  
Lowes for about 20 or 30 cents/ft last time I checked.
It was available 
in  10ft 
and 100ft lengths. 
 
This stuff has little slits cut into it all over to
allow water 
drainage.  
Without these slits or some means to drain, water will
build up inside 
and stay  
there forever. This is not a good environment for any
of the coax or 
control  
cables we use!
 
The tool quiz answer is a shovel but most of us would
pay big $$$ to 
avoid  
using one.

I do not  have a garden tractor. 
I  am thinking there must be some kind of a  gardening
tool that can be 
used 
to put down an 8" deep
trench to run 3" PVC  through.   

Ideas?
