The message
from Pam Moore contains these words:

Cut top and bottom off a plastic bottle. Put the cylinder formed over
a bindweed stem, curling it up inside if it is long enough. Then spray
inside the bottle and leave the bottle there until the glyphosate has
dried. It's the best method if you don't mind using chemicals.

Allyhats on, everyone! The rays are strong today!

What i find works best is to just trail the bindweed into a bucket of
weedkiller (or buckets if you got loads, like i do), and just keep
topping the buckets up once the bindweed has "fed" itself

That last method makes it difficult to treat bindweed which, as in
this case, is growing among other plants. The plastic bottle protects
the good guys.
I've also heard that you can dip the bindweed in a solution of
glyphosate as above, but then enclose the stem into a plastic bag,
seal it at the base, and leave till the bindweed is dead.
