Okay, this stuff is REALLY difficult to get rid of. I have some updated photos from the progress I've made so far. You can compare these images to those displayed in my original article on this subject. I've made some progress, but nearly enough to pull the remainder out.
These photos are after two more treatments with Roundup.
The most dense area - the back corner.
Since this section didn't have much remaining, it only received one treatment.
Based on how long it is taking to make a dent in this project, I'm thinking at least 2 more treatments in the areas I can't pull, which is basically within 3-4 feet of the back fenceline.

Sure Don, you can come on over and rip this stuff out for me. I classify the job as "weeding" anyway and you're cleared for that type of labor since no small animals or pets are involved ;-)
Hey Suze, that's kind of a good idea. We have a weed wacker (shutup Don). Maybe using that would at least allow the next Roundup treatment to kill what's left. I think I'll try that. Thanks!

Thanks again to Suze for the idea!
I was considering funneling some direct strength stuff onto the base of a neighbor's tree that is already half dead; a tree that drops crap all over our lawn and gardens starting in late June. A tree whose black walnuts stain our driveway and drop onto my poor husband's bald head. A tree that is just waiting for someone to give it a ticket to Tree Heaven.
A tree I really want to help achieve its' goal.
Are you going to plant grass there? I was just curious.
I was going to suggest cutting it all down and then treating the area with "all-kill" or other chemical. This is typically how land is readied for seeding, if it's being reclaimed.
