Understanding Bindweed

What is Bindweed?

Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) is a perennial vine that produces small white or pink flowers. It's a highly invasive plant that can choke out native vegetation, damage property, and even harm livestock.

Why is Bindweed a Problem in Hornby Island?

Hornby Island's mild climate and rich soil make it an ideal location for Bindweed to thrive. This invasive plant can spread quickly, outcompeting native plants and causing significant damage to property.

Preparing for Bindweed Removal

Prerequisites

Before starting the removal process, ensure you have the following:

• A clear understanding of the extent of the Bindweed infestation
• Protective gear, including gloves, safety glasses, and a long-sleeved shirt
• A plan for disposal of the removed plant material

Tips for Effective Removal

• Start by removing any dead or dying plant material to prevent the spread of disease and encourage healthy growth.
• Use a combination of mechanical and chemical controls to effectively remove the Bindweed.

Step-by-Step Guide to Bindweed Removal

Step 1: Identify and Isolate the Infestation

• Carefully inspect your property to identify areas with Bindweed growth.
• Use physical barriers, such as cardboard or plastic sheeting, to isolate the affected areas and prevent further spread.

Step 2: Apply Herbicide

• Ascent Yard Care recommends using eco-friendly herbicides specifically designed for Bindweed control.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application rates and timing.

Step 3: Remove Dead Plant Material

• After the herbicide has taken effect (typically within 7-10 days), carefully remove the dead plant material.
• Dispose of the removed material in accordance with local regulations.

Step 4: Follow-up Treatment

• Ascent Yard Care guarantees the effectiveness of its treatment; if the weeds or invasive plants are still alive 30 days after the treatment, a second treatment is provided for free.
