Note that Glyphosate/Roundup is now known to be a carcinogen (causes cancer) and to be persistent in the soil, not breaking down as the manufacturer (Monsanto) said it did.
Can you provide evidence to confirm it is a carcinogen? I've never seen any which says more than " likely to be"
I use glyphosate on bindweed by letting it grow a foot or so long, then shoving it all in a thin plastic bag and spraying carefully inside the bag, tie the bag or just twist the neck and leave it to work or bury it. The weedkiller travels down to the roots (thus killing it in your neighbours site). You may have to do this for a year or so but it t should work eventually.
Has anyone else tried this method for getting rid of bindweed? Pop a can over every shoot you see.... I find it slightly David Hockney, so doesn’t bug me that bits of the garden are covered in cans. maybe next year I’ll paint them to look like frogs or something.
This is the second year and there’s definitely much, much less.
I disagree with you there @Fire 😊 ... it can be battled ..... and battled...... and battled ..... but who wants a re-run of the 100 Years War in their garden?😉
