Rhizome.

And they are fairly shallow.
I just dig them out and track the root runner until I find them all!

Thanks everyone, will give that a try. Need to dig anyway to prepare the
flowerbeds..

Consider re-planting the fat rhizomes around a tree in a part of the
yard you want to "xeriscape" or leave wild. :-)
They really are a very pretty vine and do no damage to the trees. They
will also grow up a fence line.

Good luck!!!
