We used a rented trencher to dig a 12in deep trench from the northwest corner of the porch, just past the end of a north-south drainage ditch to the tower location. It crosses both roads at a diagonal. The power cable (two conductor #10 with ground UF-B direct burial cable) is in 3/4in plastic conduit at the bottom of the trench.
