Dear Larry, another great article! We get a lot of bindweed in the UK. Normally they use glyphosate mixed with washing up liquid to deal with it.
Although technically you should not use washing up liquids you can use to washing up liquid that is environmentally friendly. The same stuff you wash your dinner plates in. This sticks the glyphosate to the leaves of this terrible plant. Then to get rid of the seeds they flamethrower it, with gas flamethrowers. This of course makes the top seed bank inert!
You can do it by hoe or by putting boundaries in, much better our way.
Please see this as we have several species of bindweed in the UK.
