After 30 years of living with Colorado bindweed the solution has always remained the same. Pen a couple of hogs in the area for a month or two..
Honest, it works.

I used weed barrier last year and the bindweed came up through some of the holes but it was better than having it everywhere. I think i have severely reduced it on my relatively small garden because i am seeing a lot fewer bindweed plants so far.Marty in Kansas City

It is getting much better. We have also put down mulch (straw), and black plastic. The straw helps, but the black plastic did nothing. It just grows over to a hole and pokes through. I have used chemical, but I don't want to spray when the garden is planted. Does anyone have an easier way to get rid of it?
