Colin's suggestion seems to be the most successful going by a googled
search last year. Wish I'd gone with it then. Digging and constantly
pulling up only encourages it to try harder I think Plus there's
almost certainly a large undergound reserve of it where you can't get
at eg neighbours, under lawn.

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

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
