back cant take much more digging

If you don't mind using weed killer (glyphosate is best) put in a cane
beside each piece of bindweed and let it grow up the cane. Then
protect the surrounding plants any way your ingenuity fancies and
spray or cotton-glove the bindweed on the canes. The taller you let
it grow the easier it will be to treat it without touching other
plants. Leave till it dies down. You will probably need to do it
again. Worth it in the end as it eventually kills the roots.
