Gary,

Thats what I use.  I have just one bus bar about 6 inches long.  I can put 
several wires under each screw.  I don't bury my wires as they are aluminum 
and I expect the local ground will eat them quickly!  I just wrap the radial 
around a landscape staple at the far end and put in a couple more staples in 
the middle to hold the wire down.  Its about as cheap and easy as you can 
get.  I use a short length of copper braid to connect the bus bar to the 
bottom of my antenna.
