Yes, I'm doing my best Kevin the teenager impression.

Why? I hear you question (not really, I'm quite sure you don't really give a shit and just passing some time, but I'll tell ya anyway)

Because every day the bindweeeeeeed that's trying to engulf my garden appears like magic, inches a day no matter how much weeeeeeedkiller I put down or how many miles of the shit I rip up, yet the clematis and passionflower I have lovingly placed strategically in the garden, fed and provided with proper soil, well, they ain't moving a damn millimetre.

Why can't the shit stuff grow slow and the good stuff grow quick?

I hear you m’lady; Brambles grow an inch a bloody minute to I swear! It’s a constant battle to fight it back.

It won’t beat me though - no ma’am, the battle lines have been drawn and I’ll fight it until my last breath. Every inch of ground re-claimed is a victory in this war! Forward!!!!

Bind is a cock!

You need to dig it up and keep digging it up, be careful because the roots are fragile and will regrow.

Bind reroots whenever it goes into the ground and is the only plant that is measured at miles per hour in its growth, so it’s a fight

You need to dig it out, carefully, removing as much of the runner as you can - do not drop any bits - they will grow into new plants ... Then as new leaves appear spray one or two leaves... But not if rain is due g they absorb the poisen through their leaves but it takes a long time to kill it this way

Digging or industrial spraying are best way

Cover it in black plastic so bo light can get too it, it will eventually die down then dig the roots up.

I have horse tail and ivy in mine. Was trying to sort it last night but some bitey insect decided to stalk me around the garden, so I hid indoors.

I'm not even joking when I say it's sprouting up through the grass. From every slab cranny, from girl dogs grave (that's the one that's making me mega fucked off), behind walls, everywhere.

My last place was like that, took a couple of years of continuous digging to get rid of it. What I did do in patches was place cardboard on the soil where it was and then soil over the top, kind of smothers it.

I'll take a pic of my garden and send it to you later.

You'll feel better about your infestation.

I roll the bind up and follow it back to its roots, then try to pull as much out as possible.

It's difficult as they all come from other peoples' gardens.

I was out stripping bind from a hedgerow last night. It’s different from last year as it’s wrapping around brambles this time making it extra fucking annoying.

I swear it’s learning.

quite close to you

It’s a ball-ache; the only way of getting rid of it is to dig up the whole patch (some say the roots can go as far as 3m down!) douse the whole area in killer and make sure there’s nothing left of it as a little bit of it can regrow and fuck up your whole week

If that fails…Arson!

Score them with a knife between the slabs and our table salt in between the slabs. salt will get drawn into the plants. As salt will kill the root.

I dont know if this will help but I just saw this online

Another popular method for controlling bind is to prune the vines back to the ground repeatedly, whenever they appear. Take a pair of scissors or shears and snip the bind vine off at ground level. Watch the location carefully and cut the vine back again when it appears. This method forces the bind plant to use up its energy reservoirs in its roots, which will eventually kill it.

This made me think of Perry... Yes Mrs Patterson, no Mrs Patterson... Dont use killer it's a sin against nature; pour boiling water over the bind and around three inches beyond where it is growing, to kill as much root as possible.

Oh, and by the way... All I want to do is do it!

Watch the plants that you want to keep tho! And you'll need a lot of salt

If you can't dig all the roots out because of location, uncoil the vine and tuck it all into a sandwich bag. Spray with strong systemic killer and loosely tie the bag with an elastic band. Leave until properly dead before tidying the bags from your garden.

I hate bind more than slugs. At least slugs have their uses.

It's the most effective method I've found. If the neighbours aren't dealing with their side you'll never get rid of it 100%, but this is a good second best.

Neighbours either side aren't too bad, they're doing their bit, but a few doors down there's 4 gardens all in a row that are covered, if you saw the back gardens first you'd think the houses were derelict even though they're not.

I managed to clear one area, it was fairly relentless. But now i have a new area as the nieghbour has let his garden go. I went in the other day and cleared a load back and I'm going out daily, it will eventually get exhausted as long as it doesn't get to flower. Dont let any bits drop anywhere! And dont compost. It killed off one if my shrubs in a year.

I feel your pain sister and I see you, you know those looks of understanding only the eyes can convey. X

Oh god my garden was infested with it. Being abandoned when i moved in it was a jungle i cleared it but couldnt get rid of it. In the end i ordered a chemical called 'Gallup Glyphosate' its pure and most killers have 0.001% of Glyphosate in.

However be aware that nothing will grow for a few years. My lawn is 800sqm its been a desert land for 2 years. Nothing would grow not even s. Its now this year starting to so im confident its ready to turf

Surveying all the gardens from my upstairs window, I think everyone with a half decent garden has kinda given up and accepted pot life is the only way forward and everything else is futile until 100% of the road is on board with tackling it.

One of the gardens is an older gentleman who won't accept help from anyone, I can kinda forgive him but the other families... maybe if they at least started to make an effort it wouldn't seem so daunting

I have done this in my garden and it works brilliantly.

Another option is on a sunny day spray it with a solution of vinegar..really soak the leaves..in the morning..they suck it up and it causes the roots to shrivel and die.

I am no expert in this field but can offer an hour or two when I'm not working to sort your garden if you offer a cup of coffee with your delicious company!
