I've been told to hit it with Roundup laced with some 21-0-0 or some other
fertilizer -- about a tablespoon per gallon of Roundup, afte rthe first
light frost.  Plant starts a growth spurt, then dies.  A friend once told
me she'd gotten rid of field bindweed.  "How?" I asked.  "I moved."  That's
the best way.  Margaret
