Plant identification again please!

[Tobuyornot99]

Hello, I've posted a lot these last few days as I'm after garden help. I plan to plant a climber to cover an ugly wall, but my garden seems to be a natural host for the creeper in the photo, which comes from next door. Can anyone tell me what it is and if I could harness the vigorous nature of it to cover a wall please? It seems to spread like widfire though, would it overtake my garden and strangle the other plants?
Thanks in advance for your kindness to a complete novice!

I know bog all about gardening really but I always thought it was convolvulous, although I may be wrong. My brain sometimes takes in things my parents spout at me about gardening.

Whatever it is, I think it does take over as I have it in my garden (sown by wildlife I think)

Bindweed

Commonly known as bindweed

That's bindweed op will take over and choke all plants etc near it I'd pull it down if I were you but be prepared to see it winding its way around again! I just keep pulling it off in bits when I see it here

Bindweed and yes, it will take over your garden.

That's bindweed and it's a bastard to get rid of. I'm plagued by it. It's an invasive weed which wraps its self around anything living and strangles it.

Aaah I thought it was too good to be true that I had a readyade wall cover! The basted thing keeps wrapping around my hydrangeas and fuchsias and I've been pulling it off so far, but it's rampant.
I'm going to have a hard time trying to grow anything on a trellis on that breeze block wall aren't I, the bindweed will take over I guess?

It dies back in winter, or after it flowers I think. You can keep on top of it, as in just keep ripping the vines out, but actually getting rid of it is very difficult. I'm finding it nigh on impossible, but I have a large garden.

Can you see its roots ?As in its base? Pour boiling water on them if you can and on the ground surrounding them.Repeat for a few days should do the job also if you keep cutting it back it will weaken the plant

It's like that fairground game where you whack a worm on the head with a mallet and it comes out of another hole! Honestly I'm in the garden most days pulling some out from somewhere, I don't know whether it's from next door / birds & bees etc, but it's rampant. I rarely see the roots, but I'll be sure to try the booking water trick, thanks!

They are sort of white in colour. They can go down really far and if you even leave a tiny bit behind it grows again. You can paint round up on the leaves it sometimes works.

As said, I've the same issue, I literally just keep on top of the vines now. I'd have to dedicate a lot of time getting rid of it otherwise with limited chance of success. It's not ugly, it's just it's rampant and wraps itself round anything.

We had some new lawn laid over what was a large flower bed last year. The builders, did the whole thing, new top soil, sand, drainage, had the diggers in clearing it first, the lot, before laying the turf, and the bastarding stuff still comes up through the new grass. It's quite astonishing.

Bluntness I've just been out again pulling them up. If my flowers would grow like the bastarding bindweed I'd win first prize at Chelsea I'm sure! You must be so annoyed to have spent all that money and effort and be plagued with the stuff again.
I'm dreading what I'll come back to after a 2 week holiday

I'm trying bagging lengths of it, spraying the bagged leaved with roundup and leaving. My hedge looks like a giant has been hanging dog shit bags on the hedge but I think it's working!

Haha MrsBert I have visions of a condom tree! My DP is going to see the elderly gent who owns the bush I photographed and offer to get the worst of the bindweed down, I've said I'm happy for him to say I'm going to have some sort of episode if it doesn't get sorted

I've got rid of bindweed almost entirely by digging up the roots as much as possible then over subsequent years, any persistent growth gets unwound from its host plant, piled in a coil on the ground and treated to a good blast of weedkiller.

It works.
