If field bindweed appears on your garden plot, you need to take immediate action.

We'll tell you about five effective ways to combat this weed.

How to get rid of bindweed

The first option is weeding with a hoe. If you regularly destroy the above-ground part of the weed, the rhizome will become exhausted in a few years.

The second option is to pull out the roots. You need to act very carefully. Tearing off the roots leads to enhanced regeneration.

The third option is shading with black covering material. In the case of bindweed, spunbond is not very effective, it is better to use polyethylene.
