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.

We have always had a bindweed problem in our garden plots.  We have been very diligent and pull it by hand every year, all year.  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?
