About five years ago, I put black plastic over about 100 square feet of my back yard and left it for July and August. The bindweed is only now starting to creep in around the edges of that area. My back yard is about 4,000 square feet. If the bindweed would kill off the other weeds I’d leave it.

In reply to EcoCatLady. what do you want to do with them? hydrogen peroxide will kill the elm tree beetles which will help the tree. chainsaws work well, then burn the cut up wood. after cutting they will come back, turning into a bush which i turn into a sculpture each year. making a triangle, a cube... jp

My wife and I bought some land and large parts are smothered in this stuff. Other parts are fairly free of it and I’m thinking those areas have probably been weed killed and that’s even worse as far as I’m concerned because I want to grow food. A tractor came in and raked over the land. Bindweed came back so fast and is now flowering. The fact that it hosts viruses is also pretty depressing. There are machines that can spray boiling water that would kill it, but it’s too expensive an option for me. It’s going to be a challenge that’s for sure. Please don’t use glyphosphate. It’s a dangerous chemical known to cause cancer.

How refreshing to read your post. I loved it. I needed some humour as I struggle every year to control my bindweed. From what I have heard and read I think I will just need to live with it and dig out my vegetable garden every year and snip off throughout the year. I am praying that something will come along and wipe it out (one can only dream) 🙂

Thank you so very much for ideas to get rid of this horrible weed that exploded in my yard this year, and keeping safety to the cats in m neighborhood in mind (including my own that likes to get out once in awhile!)
