[Antennas] My Inverted L

tunes with a tuner real well at the high end of the band.
But from like 1850 down, It's not so good.
Anything I can do fast before the contest?
Besides more radials which I can do because it's all concrete.
I do have a few buried under the little backyard lawn and around the house but I know they 
aren't sufficient but that's the best I could do.
The L goes up the side of the tower, to a yardarm, then more or less slopes down slightly 
to a tree.
Vertical segment is approx 50 feet, horizontal is approx 70 feet.
I'm barefoot so my chances of working much in the upper ssb portion are slim and none.
