The fast acting herbicides can be the more harmful and long-lasting ones... As well they tend to burn off the top of the plant, but leave the root system there to regrow over and over. Not quite sure I understand your point on that, just think you have it upside down - if you use a herbicide you want one that works the first time and well and safely, no need to reapply over & over & over and just burn the tops off.
As much as we understand safety & effects, RUP would be the one product that would get everything and will safely bind itself to clay particles in minutes where it will break down in a couple weeks. Some other chemicals are more prone to lasting 6 months to longer in tiny amounts, or will disolve in water & wash into streams or sandy soil groundwater, etc. etc.
Burdock has a habit of knocking the mower around; good luck with just mowing it, don't think that will do it alone. You can try digging it out, but it has a long-lasting large deep root. This is not an easy one to deal with.
I understand if you don't want to use herbicides - but if you do use them pick the right ones, not listen to scare stories - don't want you to go the wrong direcion with them. :)

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
