Gettiing tough with bindweed

Glyphosate.... eg Round-up or one of the cheaper ones, and then give it 2 weeks to go back to the root. needs to be a dry day, and if possible bruise the leaves first as it then absorbs better

I have been reducing my bindweed down by not just pulling it up when it appears, but actually rottling around and getting the piece of root that its attached to. this works better as if you just tug the buried root snaps into pieces and you get more.
I have noticed this years crop is much smaller and less of it- but it has taken time!- 3 years and counting!!
But I haven't reached for the spray/pain yet this year as is definitely reduced and I try to be organic.
I travel lots and I am sure we get regional variations in the bindweed (peering over hedges at other peoples!)

I have done a fair bit of research to see if there is a use for bindweed, and some people reckon its a diuretic, but I wasn't sure if they were taking the pee.....

Place a cane next to the bindweed and train it up the cane. Mix your weedkiller and place in a jam jar. Put the jam jar next to the cane and slide the bindweed inti the jam jar. Cover the jar to stop water getting in and the weedkiller will go right down to the roots and kill it for good.

I'd double check the glyphosate strength (g per litre) in the gel sticks - I'm not sure whether it's anywhere near as strong as the stuff you buy as ready made liquid or neat concentrate.

Hi angelavdavis - I like the bottle idea.
