It does, but more for bindweed and horsetail. The former prefers light
soils and the latter heavier, though it is really a preference for the
amount of water.

Are we talking the big white bindweed here or the little pink one? I
know the little pink one seems to like quite dry soils, but the big
white one is very happy in my wet soil.

The little pink one. The big white one grows here, but isn't a serious
weed - in particular, it weakens very fast if you keep cutting it down.
This is why the little pink one is called field bindweed and the large
white one hedge bindweed - the latter will not survive long in fields.
