Since these was probably no electrial permit, so no inspection, so no one checked codes, which will vary from city to county to state.

My humble knowledge says the you can probably direct bury the 10/3, but that it needs to be in conduit when it leaves ground and then hard wired inside boxes.

We direct buried 10/3 18 inches deep, came out in conduit to GFI switches in our greenhouses. Meets code and was inspected.

Nothing about that picture is right.

Let the lawsuits fly.....
