Default Newbie: Bindweed Wars

Cut the base off lemonade/coke plastic bottles and just below the neck too
Thread the bindweed through the neck of the bottle down to the ground and
coil all bindweed up inside
Then spray into the bottle with Glyphosatate weed killer once a week till no
more shoots appear

If you do dig be very careful to trace back the entire root and not to leave
even a broken inch in the soil

Hi, good news is just got my first garden, bad news is its got loads of
Bindweed !

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

Any particular kind of weedkiller or home made recipe that i can/should

use

Cheers

TIA
