Best Answer

the depth of the wire is not as important as the type of wire and the connections. you want to put the wire deep enough to prevent accidental cutting from normal activities, 8 - 12 inches should be safe. you want to use an UF (underground feeder) type wire. you want to use water proof type wire nuts on all connections even the ground (to prevent corrosion).
