Thanks for all the good input re burying (or not) ground radials. Looks like the overwhelming consensus is to just staple them down. 

Then the next effort is getting coax to the feedpoint in a permanent manner. I will have about a 200ft run, about 100ft of which is across yard with many mature trees (=roots). I anticipate using direct burial coax of some LM400-like flavor, but this section of yard also occasionally gets aerated. So, I figure I need to bury the coax deep enough to prevent any "coax aeration". Is 6-8 inches enough? Dig the trench with a standard trench shovel? I will likely also have to dig under roots.
