   I've seen people bury garden hose, then been really sorry when it   
   collapsed from the pressure of the backfill.  PVC is cheap!  Perhaps   
   cheaper than garden hose.   
      
   That said...I have used old "throwaway" garden hose as conduit to   
   protect irrigation cable.  In that case, I expect the hose to collapse   
   underground and consider it a bonus if it doesn't.
