destroying bindweed

Question

I have an area about 200 sq feet that has been invaded by bindweed. If I put down a black plastic mulch, will that kill it? I normally don’t like to use plastic mulch, but if it gets rid of the bindweed, I will use it for a few seasons.

Answer 1

Yes, black plastic mulch can be used to eradicate bindweed. However, you have other options if you are not totally comfortable with that, which are discussed in the following article:
