   That might be the best & cheapest way.  Look at Malibu cable at your local   
   big-box building supplies store.  It's the stuff used for landscape lighting.   
   If you are going to bury the cable, consider putting it in PVC.  Will last   
   longer and be easier to repair.   
      
   FWIW: I do my yard lighting with Malibu cable AND a solar power system.
