For underground work where you have to weave around rocks, use polyethylene water pipe to pull the wires through, it will bend around obstructions and keep the water out. Use shark bite type exterior fittings to connect and join the pipe to avoid reducing the internal diameter that push-in fittings will do. You won't have to dig so deep either.

A steel wire called an electricians snake is used to pull wires through pipes.
