   Actually, UF isn't all that cheap, but the problem isn't the cost of the   
   cable or the cost of the conduit, it's the cost and disruption of   
   digging the ditch.  You can repair damaged UF once or twice perhaps, but   
   to replace it you need a whole new ditch.  If you put conduit in the   
   ground and plan ahead with extras, you only need dig the ditch once.
