Hi there, its Convolvulus commonly called 'Bindweed' it grows from thick white fleshy roots and I'd suggest you get rid of it before you do any planting. keep using 'roundup' but make sure your using it at the correct strength (not too strong) so that the chemical can translocate the root system before killing the tops ? Spray when the subsequent growths are only 8 " tall and you should get rid of it.

Hi,

I've spent the last month or so at weekends preparing my garden for
new
turf. The glyphosate obliterated everything including the grass and
comfry, which is great, however this cheeky "ivy type" plant (might even
be ivy but don't think so) keeps growing through even when buried deep
underground. It also grows up my garden wall. Little bits of the root

"Glyphosate (Roundup, Touchdown, or equivalent) is a non-selective
herbicide with no soil activity. Any labeled crop can be planted after fall or
spring glyphosate application. Glyphosate should be applied when plants
are actively growing and are at or beyond full bloom. Poor control will
result if plants are under stress, not actively growing, or covered with
dust."

The downside of buying Roundup is empowering Monsanto -- a company
which I have no hesitation in labeling EVIL!

Do some research into this monster, which has done such things, inter
alia, as compelling dirt-poor peasants in Third World countries (who
always drew water from their own wells), to BUY water, at prices that
absorb a huge percentage of their income.

Out of curiosity, I just did a quickie search under keywords "Monsanto
Evil". Was amazed at the number of sites and the detail on their evil-
doing.

Another search on "Monsanto and Roundup" yielded another "harvest" of
evil.
