In New Zealand we used a tool behind a tractor that was normally used for
laying PVC pipe. So if you were using an armored cable you might be able to
get with doing something similar.

Here is a video. Note the exact method but you can get the idea.

Does anyone have experience in running fiber optic cable with
micro-trenching techniques in areas where there is no existing asphalt or
concrete roadway, just packed earth and rock? Environmental limitations do
not allow for constructing an aerial power pole alignment, or underground
ductbank. The distance is about 10 kM.
