We've dug them up as much as possible at least 4 different times in the past 2 years. Any more suggestions? Thanks!

i have spent years trying to get them to grow since they are immune to water shortages during the lawn watering bans we have in the summer. I wish I had your problem!
Try chopping off the leaves so you can see the center root. Then pour in ROUNDUP weedkiller. It kills anything without harming the untouched things around it. You can plant there after the yucca has died.
Another possibility is to put an ad in your free local paper advertising yucca plants for those ethnic groups that cook with it and would come and dig it out themselves.

Try spraying "Round up" on them, you can find it at your local garden center. You may have to apply it several times, as the root systems can go down more than four feet. Think of them as the Godzilla of Dandylion like roots!!!

a neutron bomb might do it.
Those things are tenacious...
There are culivars that are a little less aggressive - but I think I'll forever be too afraid to plant yucca intentionally.

JUST keep digging them up. some day they will go a way. OR you can spray with a brush killer. BUT YOU WONT be able to plant there 4 a while.
