gledhillda, the Rounup product I have is Roundup Pro Biactive. There are several applications for various situations. I do not know the product ultra 3000.
If what you have is Agricultural Roundup I think the rate is 25ml in 1litre of water for a knapsack sprayer.
Might I suggest you check where you bought the product and write the dilution rate on the container with a chinagraph pen.
gledhillda, I have just Googled 'Dilution rate of Roundup 3000' and all the information is there. You can download it or there is a picture of the product with the dilution rate on the picture of the label.
tx for the tip, its on the internet label as you say but not on the real label at least not my one. i tried before to click on the dilution guide but that didn't work for me. im out and about now putting it trailing it into buckets of 1.5 percent; thanks for that tip above.
You can't imagine what happened! Having the bindweed mostly under control with Roundup (thanks for the suggestion!) the problem with the fence started. The fence needs redoing, but I did not want to put up a new fence, the bindweed climbs up and the tenants start to pull on the bindweed breaking up the trellies of the fence again!
Now a wonder has happened!
The property was sold to someone who has a horticultural background! We discussed the bindweed and Ivy will go and we might replace the fence with a hedge
Hi there. I'm stuck in exactly the same situation and have been battling this in my garden for two years. I've just discovered this week that it's coming under the fence from a neighbour, again exactly the same as the original poster, isn't going to do anything about it.
Dear All, as the roots of bindweed can reach down up to 20 feet there is no way to dig it out and chemicals are the only way to go. I have an allotment which I took on choked with bindweed and made the mistake of trying to dig it out going as far as to make a rotary screen to do this. It is futile. it is impossible to dig as fast as the roots can spread or as deep as they reach. A physical barrier would need to be continuous as the roots can snake around joints and the depth to which it would have to go would require shoring. My neighbouring allotment holder who has been allotment gardening all his life gave me the following tip. Mix weedkiller with wallpaper past and it becomes a spot weedkiller which can be brushed on to the foliage without the risk of damaging other plants. if the bindweed is trailing across the ground train it up a cane and then kill it. On my plot I let the plot go fallow to produce enough growth to spray wholesale. I sprayed as per instructions with two applications of SBK brushwood killer which according to the packaging would lay waste to just about anything. It did almost nowt except kill the bindweed. I hope that this helps. The sage gardener next to my plot recommends glyphosate.
The painted on weed killer is the best - and you don't need much painted on the leaves to kill the whole sprawling plant. What you do need is patience. Mine takes over a month to die back completely. So do it early in the season.

Hi All,
I have to update you on this!
You can't imagine what happened!

This is better than Christmas!!!
Hi there. I'm stuck in exactly the same situation and have been battling this in my garden for two years. I've just discovered this week that it's coming under the fence from a neighbour, again exactly the same as the original poster, isn't going to do anything about it.
Could I ask, which resolva product did you use?
I used Round Up not Resolva.
The new neighbour did dig out the roots she could access from her side.
The stump which was left on our side I treated with tree stump killer, which you can get e.g. at B&Q.
Having this problem resolved, there is again Ivy growing over from neighbours, this time at the back of our garden!
I will keep a close eye on this, trying to keep it under control.
I cut it open and apply the liquid tree stump killer with a paint brush!
Good luck
I hope that this helps. The sage gardener next to my plot recommends glyphosate.
The problem with the bindweed is no longer, it is all gone.
However I have again problem with ivy, now in a different spot of my garden coming over from the neighbour.
If it just comes over without the neighbour cutting it back, can I round up or tree stump killer on it or do i have to speak to the neighbour first?
