Those completely take over low fertility soils, and are terrible pests in crops; especially the bindweed.

Bindweed is also a listed noxious weed in a good many states, including WA, and our own SD.

Here's a harvester that ran into a patch in a field.

A Binder Bound with Bindweed! Nice catch!

I feel badly for that poor guy. That stuff is bad enough when it gets into my line trimmer. He’s got HOURS of work to get that crud out of there.

I’m having a little war in my front flowerbed with bindweed. It’s in the roses, the ferns, the King’s Gentian (another weed, but I keep it because it looks nice) even the lawn.

I find it, I pluck it. Every week I find some, but the tendrils are getting smaller and smaller, and fewer too.
