I am telling you how I got rid of the Bindweed (birch tree) at my dacha. The folk way that really helped

When my husband and I bought a dacha, the whole garden of which was covered with bindweed. I also knew from my mother that it would be very difficult to get rid of him, but still hoped for weeding - it did not help.

I firmly decided to overcome it: I rummaged through dozens of forums and magazines for summer residents, but the bindweed continued to curl around the cucumbers. I was already desperate, but I tried one popular method, which unexpectedly for me solved the problem myself.

I warn you right away that this method is long and energy-consuming.


To fight the bindweed, I had to ask my husband to dig up the whole garden in the spring. We have a small one - 15 acres, but it was all covered by this infection. We had to give up the motor-cultivator and dig it by hand so as not to cut the root and spread it throughout the garden. The husband dug up the garden.

At that time, I followed him and collected the dug roots with a rake. This work is long and dreary, it was necessary to collect everything - even the smallest parts of the roots.

If you leave one, the whole garden will overgrow again. When the garden was dug up, we cultivated all the land with ash. It eliminates the acidity of the soil and does not give the birch, which loves exactly an acidic environment, comfortable conditions for growth. We covered the treated soil with a black dense film.


In general, after these procedures, it is recommended to abandon planting, but we still planted the plants. They cut holes in the film, planted cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers in them. It grew a little worse than usual, but in principle - not bad, the harvest was harvested.


In the next season, they planted everything as usual, they did not use film. Bindweed still appeared, but in much smaller quantities - literally from seven plants throughout the territory.

In general, I read that in the first year vines can come out, so I was ready. Before the flowers bloomed, I treated the vines with saline:


1. One and a half kilograms of salt was put into a bucket of water - about ten liters.
2. I poured the solution into a sprayer and sprayed the part of the garden where the bindweed was.
3. Three days later I repeated the procedure.


The bindweed wilted, I pulled it out along with the roots and burned it. It is important to do this so that the seeds do not scatter throughout the garden and do not lead to a new, even more weed.

In the summer, the bindweed did not appear again. In the fall, my husband manually dug up the garden again, but there was no bindweed. Even the roots.


The next planting season went without a birch tree at all. Either the plant was frightened by my persistence, or the salt solution and the film. I hope the plant won't bother me anymore, and I advise you to act before the weed takes over the whole garden.
