If I lay my 1/4 wavelength bare radials several inches below ground; is that
not the same as if the radials were grounded along their length?

True, I expect, Carl. Just don't ground it! If you think about it, a
more-or-less ideal "image - plane" for the vertical would be a circular
metallic sheet a 1/2 wave in diameter ( although "infinite" extent would be
better).

OTOH connecting all the ends together with a wire that can handle the total
current would help balance the field......Yes or no?
