Most of you wont want to hear this but I spray mine. In the spring I use a
pre-emergent to keep the bindweed seeds from germinating (You wont be able
to plant seeds in your garden after doing this. I plant them in the house
and then transplant into the treated area.).

Then the bindweed that came from roots get it with a broadleaf weed killer,
before the blooms make seeds. A friend of mine uses a weed killer that goes
to the roots and kills it there, only he carefully digs around the plant to
find the main root, cuts it and applies the weed killer undiluted to each
end of the root he just cut. He does this all around the area that is
infested. This is more time consuming, but seems to be more permanent.

Make your mind up that you wont get them all the first year. It took me two
seasons to knock out about 85% of them. This is the 3rd season and I am
sure there will be a few out there.

go on tell me im wasteing my time
but its peeing me off AS IT INVADES MY VEGIES every year
how do i stop it

It is almost impossible to eliminate bindweed once it has become
established in your garden. It need not be too much of a problem though
if you regularly hoe or pull out the plants in places such as your veg.
plot or flower beds where it will threaten other plants. It will not
survive in a regularly mowed lawn and it can be ignored in hedges, path
borders etc.
