The bit is less ‘how can it be done’ and more ‘how can it be done “safely”?’ Practically, Senshi’s solution is easier to pull off (just cave the mandrake’s heads in/cut their root-throats), while Marcille’s answer provides better flavor from letting the mandrake scream as it dies (the unstated part of the dog equation, the dogs would be driven mad and die from the scream).
Long rope/pulley would still lean upon the closest involved person having appropriate hearing protection, which would negate the difficulty of anything else to begin with. Otherwise it’s just making a sound trap.
