some interesting notes here, including medicinal uses!

already a few good things to track down!

"One farmer reported no bindweed problems for nine years after his bindweed was "shaded and strangled by the pumpkins."" well hey, that's some good news. otoh: "There aren't many positive things to say about a plant that can smother a garden in a season and reappear Terminator-like after the most conscientious yanking."

from Thurston County. "Each plant can produce as many as 500 seeds that can sprout for over 50 years." also, "Root systems of field bindweed can be in excess of 5 tons per acre." holy heck!

aka field bindweed, aka morning glory (apparently, not really, but that's how I've always referred to it.)
