Default bindweed and strawberries

Robin Ellzey wrote:

I created a small bed (2'x24') for strawberries. I put landscaping
fabric down and then about 4 inches of mulch. My strawberries are
coming up fine but so is the bind weed. I haven't found anything such
as Roundup that I can spray on the bindweed without killing the
strawberries. I've been extremely carefull about pulling the weeds
around the strawberries due to not wanting to damageing the
strawberries. Does anyone know of a better way or something that will
kill the bindweed, but not the strawberries.

Thanks. (FYI - Zone 5-Denver)


Hand-pulling is about it. If you keep at it diligently for a
couple of years, the strawberries will then crowd out everything
else.
