I am wiring a new garage. I have run a wire through 1" plastic conduit from the main fuse panel in the house to a sub-panel in the garage. Can I go all the way to the sub-panel with the plastic conduit?

Plastic feed from the house to the garage isn't the best for safelty, incase you might cut though it latter on, coming out of the ground it is a hazard, due to the trimmers of today.
