Hi Daz,

You don.t say how big the area is, but with a little painstaking work you
can get rid of the bindweed - the buttercup you can simply weed out.
Get as many jam jars as you can and fill them with dilute Glyphosate
(Roundup). When the bindweed is about 6"tall, bundle the shoots
together and upend the bunches into the jars. Leave them there for
about a week, then move the jars on to the next patch. It's a bit
labourious but by the end of the summer the bindweed will be
gone.

I think I might be worried that the jars would collect rainwater and
overflow on to other plants

Use the poly bag trick if other plants are a worry in that particular
area. Tie the neck off with those twisty things, or a bit of garden
twine.
