Thanks. I've heard that glyphosate kills bindweed. Any experience of
that?

Yes, it does but you have to be extremely careful not to get it on to other
plants that you don't want to kill! One method popular with an urg member
is to gather as many ends of the bindweed as you can, and stuff them into a
plastic bag previously coated with glyphosate. Tie up the neck tightly and
wait! Another is to train the bindweed up canes and then brush on the
glyphosate.
