I used to have a patch of raspberries growing here, with some herbs/annual other stuff up near the top where the boards are. This year, because I think I need to fertiliser and manure the ground here properly, I dug them up.. Also, I have a major bindweed problem there. Before going absolutely nuclear and spraying the whole lot, is there anything I can do to get rid of it? I might also try covering the lot with a membrane, but I've had limited success in the past.
