Dock has a really long taproot, so flaming is not effective
unless you repeat it at close intervals--everytime it sprouts some new leaves,
you burn them out. The idea is the same as mowing every week to 10 days for the
whole season: eventually the roots run out of stored nutrients and the plant
actually dies.
I doubt that boiling water would work well, again because of
the long tap root.
I don't know if you can sell other kinds of dock root, other
than burdock. Harvesting it is a challenge. So much so that most of the people
who sell it grow it in nice loose soil so they can dig it easily.
