I think there is a requirement for wire without conduit to be a minimum of
18 inches deep for burial, while with conduit, you can get by with a
shallower trench since it is not as likely to be cut buy shovels or other
hand tools.

Which is one of the reasons why conduit (either metal or PVC) is the only way
to go. :-) Plus, it's convenient to be able to add an additional wire at a
later date and not have to dig another trench. :-)

When I lived in S. Florida in the 70's I think the requirement was something
like only 6 or 7 inches for conduit.
