You mean burdock in general, not a specific plant against which you have a 
grudge, eh?  It's an annual.  If it even begins to mature seeds, they will 
survive.  Like the Terminator, it will be baaaaack!

I have made up a lot of new swear words to describe burdock, but I have to 
give it credit for something:  When it comes up in profusion in the garden 
and 
is pulled up young, it seems to have dredged up the most wonderful array of 
nutrients from deep in the ground.  Burdock compost is really fertile.
