    Just FYI, they make splice kits that come with adhesive lined heat shrink tubing that are rated for direct burial.

    I’ve attended to a few of these months and years later, the moisture always gets in and corrodes the copper causing a hot joint . Anyone who’s thinking of doing it use a underground joining kit, contains inline joiners and resin to make it completely waterproof ! This may work in a pinch but it won’t last forever

    ​@robertplas3947 yes, scotch/3m makes a waterproofing tape that is the same thing that is included in the UF direct burial splice kit. I would recommend using something like the process shown here or a heat shrink waterproof tubing over the top, but at that point you might as well buy the direct burial kit for $13-15....

    Looks decent. I've done it this way before. Lately been using flex wrap (saran wrap on a 6" roll for packing) rather than bags but same idea. Some glue lined shrink tubing over the splice block would be a good alternative to the tape - if available.

    Should have used Noalox since your using an aluminum splice block on copper conductor or use copper crimp connector and noalox since it prevents corrosion and increases conductivity then put mastic on the connection and use shrink tube over that you could then use what ever outside of that if you want more protection
