The way you wrote that post suggests you don't pay much attention to
detail and are a bit sloppy. Now go back and dig out those buttercups
again, this time take out every single little teensy bit, above and
below ground. If you miss a few bits, they'll be up again in a week so
go back, check, and get them out.

Fingers work better at yankng out fresh tender shoots.

Keep at it and the roots ought to eventually starve and die.
