Are you suggesting we bury RG-8 in our gardens? *The RG-8X is plenty
good below VHF.


Planting your coax at least 12' down

Yes - Buried and Burying your Coax Cable
feed-in-line is a Very Good idea :

Four to Six Inches (4"~6") is Good

Eight to Ten Inches (8"~10") is Better

Twelve Inches (12") or more is a whole lot of Work -if-
you don't have a Machine to Dig the Trench for you.
