Usually in my soil, a 1" pipe to water bore with, and a 1.5" or 2" pipe jammed through to make a 'conduit' (not electrical code), particularly if going under a sidewalk so whatever is run can be re-run 10 years from now. | |

You can give it a try, but be prepared that you might have to dig it all out in the end. | |
