Vent: I am sick of the no-dig fad. What a load of crud.

How do they cope with bindweed?
We (well - mainly poor long-suffering Marvellous Other 1/2) have to dig it out anew every fecking year.

Bindweed gets the glyphosate treatment. Fortunately on our property it only has a hold in the flower beds, and by the end of this year it will be eradicated from there.

I have had success by constantly pulling it up. Our soil is quite lose as we try to never stand on it soil so, with a gentle pull as the shoot appears above the surface, you can usually get quite a length of root out as well. I find that the shoots gradually get weaker until eventually they don't reappear. It takes some patience but it works.

Charles Dowding does the same according to his videos on YouTube.
