For esthetic / XYL / neighboor reasons, I'm thinking of running balanced
"ladder" line to the back of my yard, via 1" PVC pipe with appropriate
measures to keep the water out, and burying it maybe a foot underground.
Length of the run might be 20 feet along the bottom of a deck and then 60
feet buried, give or take. Then straight up a tree centered between two
other trees to feed about a 80' center fed dipole.
Nothing else will be in the pipe with the feed line. Anyone have any
thoughts on why this might or might not work? The ground where it could be
buried, is on the moist side most of the year.

This may be an interesting experiment - and I for one will appreciate a
report of your success.
I would suggest trying it without burying it first - If it works
above-grade, it may work buried.
The biggest challenge will be keeping water out of the pipe.
