Default Bindweed nightmare

Judith,

Please see my reply to K...

This sounds like a good idea! Unfortunately, it's impossible to put canes
in, the bush is too dense. I can't even get my hand in! This is the mother
of all hawthorn/bindweed bushes!

So, how many sandwich bags? One, two, ten ...? And how long before I can
get to what's left of my lawn to reseed it again?

Baz, you don't need to get your hand in, push a cane down in the
middle of the hedge, it will find soil and the bindwweed will scramble
up to the top and then you can bag it!Q!!!

Put a treated bag every metre, after 3 weeks you will see what is dead
and whether you need to treat other areas.
