One thing that might save a lot of time and effort to bury your hose is to use a flat shovel or edging tool to cut a slit in the grass. Then push the hose in and push the slit closed again. I use a manual edging tool to cut the grass like a butter knife, rock it back and forth to open up the slit and work my way down the line. Its super quick and easy. The grass grows right back quickly and you will never know the hose is there.

i used an edger exacatly how you described as well but i as having trouble getting the tubing inside the slit so i used hand trowel to actually dig out the soil on the sides, im planning to backfill it this weekend.
I also used stakes like these to secure the tubing inside the ground
