Bindweed - Removing it from my cottage garden

I spent 16 hours weeding my cottage garden and I'm not done. So come along with me on this marathon of weeding to see how it went. I started this garden last year and unfortunately it is full of bindweed so this will be a long process. I'm hopeful that I'll be getting the bindweed under control this year. Bindweed is a difficult plant to wrangle and there are a number of strategies for tackling it. I have chosen to dig mine and have seen improvements so far. Digging bindweed may not be the best option for everyone. If you have trouble with bindweed, find what works for you and ask others in your area how they have been tackling it. Plants grow differently in different conditions and therefor may require different strategies for removal based on location.
