Right, so there's bundles possible. Basically this kind of stuff?

The question then becomes what to run, in what quantity of conductors, to where?
I have an on-wall location outside that's served already by 110vac and a CAT5E leading back to the electrical closet for networking. I'd presumably be running multi-conductor sprinkler wire to an in-ground box for the main manifold, distributing water from the house supply. I already have a line from an agricultural-use sub-meter. Likewise I've got an in-ground box for that: http://amzn.to/2e8aVFc
I'm figuring at some points around the property it'd be useful to have a box like that or smaller to house valves for finer control. As opposed to a lot of pipes running from only a central manifold. I'm guessing most of what they have planned for now is central, but if I'm going to have the ground open I'd like to plan ahead. Thus running some extra wire now will save me the hassle later.
