Petrificous - you can't apply it in a bed unless you buy an expensive gel form and paint it on. Try twining it up canes then, when you have enough, put it in bin bag and spray with glyphosate or other systemic weedkiller. They are indiscriminate and will kill anything green that they landon so care is needed.
You can also fold the stems into a bucket of glyphosate solution if that's easier and on really awkward bits put on some rubber gloves and then dip your hands in the solution and rub it over the offending weeds.
You need 6 hours of sun for it to be absorbed and then 2 weeks for it to be taken down and kill the otts and it may well return as the teenisest bit of roots left intact will regrow.

Thank you all so much for your advice and help with this. I will try and get there again this weekend when I have more time to spray the whole lot and ensure I have covered everything.

The gel isn't THAT costly and does allow for direct application to the right leaves.
