Running power to garage through garden - how?

[plugwash]

At minimum you need to use sifted material arround the cable to avoid stones damaging it. Many think it's a good idea to use sand because that makes it obvious that something is different even if you miss the marking tape.

you sure it's hydraulics?
wouldn't a liquid dampen the movement of the weight and make it less effective?
most "hammer action" things are pneumatic..

I thought it was hydraulic since the air hose attached to a control box, that varied the power to the mole, and that seemed to be leaking quite a bit of oil - maybe it was just lubricant from the air-line??

When we got the mole round it was for running new mains pipes, so usually once the hole was formed, the mole was pulled back out, and since the soil had been displaced it stayed in that position - leaving a nice hole for the new pipe to be pushed thru.
If the soil wasn't the usual clay type that we get round london - the guy simply had us push the new pipe onto the end of the mole , maintaing pressure on it while he pulled mole back out.

Warning tape would be a problem...

and the extra sand is as said to offer a visual change to let you know that something is down there.. if you happen to have missed the warning tape..

No - sorry - I don't see a quote box anywhere in your post.
