My front lawn is full of bindweed. The lawns on each side of my yard are full of bindweed. My lily garden off my patio is full of bindweed. My vegetable gardens (2) are full of bindweed. My raised lily bed (between the two vegetable gardens are full of bindweed. It is hard to work on all of this and see any progress. Add to that wild garlic and Arum italicum that I would love to see GONE
.
Lately I have been working on the front lawn, pulling the bindweed where ever I see a bloom or greenery (easy to see in our summer drought as I and everyone else quit watering and the lawns are all brown).
The concept of starving the underground elements makes sense and that is what I focus on. I suspected that the roots ran deep as this stuff looks so green when the lawn is dead looking. Guess I will just keep pulling (read: break off).
Thanks for the info, Larry.
