killer vines

15 years ago

was just wondering if anyone had any ideas for me on how to get rid of root like vines.Thats the only way i know how to describe them.I recently cleared a section of yard in the front of my house and discovered these things everywhere.I attempt to pull them and they just keep going and going.There are so many of them,if i have to pull them by hand i'm selling.Should i rent a Bobcat,bury them,blow them up,i'm at a loss,please help......thanks

It would be helpful to know what they are, but glyphosate (Roundup) works well on many plants. Burying them sounds like a lot of work and they might just pop up through the dirt! Can you post a picture for ID?
