Any help on how to defeat it greatly appreciated, so far everything i have
done has only beaten it for a few days, just keeps coming straight back.
My
back cant take much more digging

I've tried digging it out, poisoning it, pulling it etc. Still comes back
but with less vigour. However, now I have a tub of water into which I drop
the bindweed when I pull it up. It will, hopefully, make a liquid compost
tea which I can then put back on the garden.

I don't bother trying to dig it up anymore as it'll soon come back from my
neighbour's gardens....
