I buy it in bulk and as I don't want to eat everyday,  I bought a tool to put
it in capsules and take it that way.  Works for me.

Don't I know it...I hate many specific burdock plants that I've battled.
I've picked so many burrs out of the dogs' coats. If you miss even one
plant, there are a million next year. It IS deep rooted, which is good for
compost, bad for killing plants...I can chop down the same large plant 3 or
4 times a season.

Some thistles are even worse. I cut them when they are in bud, and come
back a week later to find the dead plant laying on the ground flowering. I
wish the things I plant had that kind of will to survive! My neighbors tell
me that "Old John", who used to own my farm, used to put thistle plants in a
big pile, pour gasoline on them, and set them on fire. I wonder if that
killed them dead enough not to come back?
