RE: Planting Zukes and Cukes
I am getting desperate to get rid of the bindweed. However, it is so well-established by now, I suspect that's a hopeless cause. I was hoping the cover crop of clover would deter the bindweed, but it just merrily climbs up the clover. I am glad to hear the agricultural vinegar kills some weeds, at least! Bindweed seems to be in a special category of toughness.

I'm going to have to look up what bindweed is. I wouldn't know what to look for. Yikes! I hope you can get it under control, as it sounds nasty.
Okay, I looked it up, and I can see why you can't get rid of it. You have to broadfork it deep to get all the roots. It did say you could apply glyphosate to the bindweed in the fall when the bindweed is actively growing. And, use Preen in early spring to keep the seeds at bay. Sounds like a lot of digging for you.
