    I was away for eight, yes eight days, and when I came back the lavendar bush is absolutely choked with this yoke.

    I normally keep it under control by just pulling it out every few days, but this is an INVASION!

    Glad I got that off me chest. Hate it with a passion. Whew.

    Same. Lot of convolvulus in the front garden. Discussion on controlling it here, though I usually just pull it up.

    chat recently on here about it:

    It takes time to get rid of it and a concentrated continued effort over a year or so, as it can grow back from the smallest bit of root and its roots go everywhere v quickly. If it comes in from the neighbours all you can do is have perimeter defenses :p

    try to paint the undiluted roundup on it or a very strong mix, not spray :D:D
