If you have access to a standard drill, you might be able to buy an auger
bit that will dig a neat little (but deep) hole for you, no pounding
required. I say *might* because I found mine in a pile with a price tag
that indicated it was well over 10 years old. I've seen huge ones for
bulbs recently, though.

Disclaimer: Be sure to check with Miss Utility etc for the locations of
buried cables.
