I've done it two ways. There's a DX Eng radial plate at the base of my 
Tee vertical connecting a very large number of on-ground radials. For a 
couple of verticals sloping off my 120 ft tower, fed at their base and 
using the tower as a passive reflector, I use copper split-bolt 
connectors to connect four elevated radials for each sloper. I also use 
split-bolts to connect on-ground radials for the tower (it needs a good 
radial system because it's a passive reflector).
