Default Electricity to pond

Is alright to run a outdoor extension cord to a pond. The cord runs
about 15 feet to a gfi . And can I place the cord underground..about 6
inches. Dont have the cash right now to do it right.


You can't bury an extension cord safely, not meet code in doing so. In fact,
I am sure you can't bury anything but low voltage 6 inches down and be
legal. I recommend keeping the cord above ground, and route it through a
flower or landscaping bed. If it's there and you can see it, you are less
likely to put a shovel through it.
