To effectively get rid of bindweed from your garden, you can manually pull it out, making sure to remove the entire root system. You can also use mulch to smother the weed or apply herbicides specifically designed to target bindweed. Regular maintenance and monitoring of your garden can help prevent bindweed from spreading.
Field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) has clasping auricles at the base of its leaves. These auricles wrap around the stem, helping the plant to climb and twine around other vegetation.
