The question is what to do with the buried radials - should the buried
radials be attached anywhere or left independent?
Just leave them independent. Depending on your ground conductivity, they
may improve the gain of the inverted vee by a few tenths of a dB. Since
your inverted vee is a balanced antenna, there shouldn't be any need to
connect the radials to anything (assuming you use a current balun at the
feedpoint to reduce common mode feedine current).
The radials could be used for lightning ground on the coax coming from the
inverted vee.
