Default Bindweed and creeping buttercup

Re bindweed.

I have success in flowerbeds by teasing the bindweed into a clump away from
a plant,
dropping over a large plastic bottle (with top & bottom cut off)
and spray with glyphosphate

Regards

New house, new garden, new problems.

Lovely herbaceous border, lots of nice plants etc.

Full of bindweed, creeping buttercup and a tall weed with white 'lacy'
flowers?

I rewally don't have space to lift the plants and deal with an 'empty'
flowerbed. Am pulling as much as I can find by hand and planted in some
canes for the stuff to wrap itself round.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
