Anyway, I have a problem with Bindweed.

I got into the habit of cutting it off at ground level whenever I
noticed some growing. Eventually it gave up fighting back.


That's surprising. I've had it grow back after I've dug it out to
near a foot, the damned stuff! (it gets quite woody when you get
down deep, I've found)


After years of digging the roots up I gave up but then after another
few years of cutting the stuff it did seem like it just give up. It
could be deep underground planning an attack but it's not re grown for
about five years.
