The fast acting herbicides can be the more harmful and long-lasting ones... As well they tend to burn off the top of the plant, but leave the root system there to regrow over and over. Not quite sure I understand your point on that, just think you have it upside down - if you use a herbicide you want one that works the first time and well and safely, no need to reapply over & over & over and just burn the tops off.
As much as we understand safety & effects, RUP would be the one product that would get everything and will safely bind itself to clay particles in minutes where it will break down in a couple weeks. Some other chemicals are more prone to lasting 6 months to longer in tiny amounts, or will disolve in water & wash into streams or sandy soil groundwater, etc. etc.
Burdock has a habit of knocking the mower around; good luck with just mowing it, don't think that will do it alone. You can try digging it out, but it has a long-lasting large deep root. This is not an easy one to deal with.
I understand if you don't want to use herbicides - but if you do use them pick the right ones, not listen to scare stories - don't want you to go the wrong direcion with them. :)
