    Best way to bury cable?

    Thanks for the repplies. Oh, my Laziness knows no bounds. My motto is "Why do it right when you can Half ass it" :D . Ive got a 1000 ft Roll of top grade Commscope RG6. I doubt its direct bury though. This is for a Dishnetwork Dishpro system BTW. I should probably just rent the trencher and...
