Default paraffin and bind weed

Don't know about the parafin but I think you have 2 options for the bindweed

1. Pull it out but you'll need to get the root out as well so you may need
to dig a bit. Make sure you get it all as it will sprout up again from any
little bits you leave behind.

2. You can use glyphosate weedkiller but this will kill anything else it
touches so go carefully.

My front garden was plagued with this when we moved in 2 years ago but I
spent a good day getting the worst out, weedkillered the rest and found it
relatively easy to keep on top of it after that.

I just purchased a greenhouse and a greenhouse heater which uses
paraffin. Could anyone tell me the cheapest place to buy paraffin for
this heater?

Finally, I have bind weed in my garden and would like to get rid of
it. I have been told that I just need to keep pulling it by hand and
just try to keep on top of it. Is this true or is there a better way?
My vegetables hate it!!!

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
