Burying the radials will make zero difference in performance.

All,

I have been using an 80 meter loaded vertical for a couple of years with
moderate success. The ground system is a dozen 'untuned' radials 40 or so
feet laying on the ground. The feed line is about 100 feet of RG-8 coax.
The SWR in the shack is about 1.1 to 1.

Would burying the radials and connecting them to several 4 square foot
buried screens substantially help the ground system?

Thanks,
