I can get bits of root out until I get to the clay, and it is filled
with plants now too.


That's ample deep enough - it's doesn't regrow well from deep
roots (unlike bindweed) - but the plants are an issue. I would
use glyphosate, but I really do mean half strength.



What do you mean by "half strength" 50/50 mix from neat or double normal
water added?
