[TowerTalk] Plastic Pipe to Bury Coax?

I was going to bury my coax until I realized that a 200' ditch was going to
be too much hassle.
So....I got a spool of Davis Bury-Flex and didn't bury it.....thanks again
Steve.

When I mow, I just move the BF a few feet and get on with it.
Same for the radials on my Hy-Tower....it has 90, 70ft radials on a DXE
radial plate and they just lay on top of the ground held down with the DXE
lawn staples.
I've been mowing over them with the Kubota for 2 years now without any
problems..

What departmetn is this in?  What is it supposed to be used for?

I am fairly familiar with HD and do not remember any pipe except electrical 
(rigid electrical), garden (4" drain tubing), and plumbing (clear plastic 
and expensive in large enough sizes).

Tnx es 73, de Jim KG0KP
