My asparagus bed is being killed off by bindweed - I want to take up
the plants, kill the bindweed and replant - can I do this now?
Thanks - Chris


Put salt on the bed, not just a bit, the ground should be well covered,
almost white over. It's not recommended to do this on a regular basis but
once or twice won't hurt. The sparrergrass won't be touched by the salt.
