Get a step-on lawn edger, which is a blade attached to a handle, and you step

I use the Hound Dog "Steppin' Edger" from the gardening section of
Lowe's Home Improvement. Basically, it's a 12-inch butcher knife with
a foot plate on it. Great for laying radials or whatever in the back
yard.

Step, wobble it a little to open it up, and make a nice slit, and work the
coax down into it, alternating slit and pushing down.

Just stomp around to close the slit again.

Easiest after a rain.

I bury just plain ordinary coax and it works fine, by the way.

(You can find the coax again with a portable AM radio. Put radio on the
ground tuned to a weakish station, and aim the radio to null out the
station. Drag the radio across the area the coax is in in that orientation,
and the station will pop up as you cross the coax.)
