How do I get rid of bindweed in my lawn?

How do you kill bindweed without killing grass?

What is the best way to kill bindweed?
Encourage the bindweed stems you can't dig out to grow up canes, away from the foliage of other plants so you can kill off the weed entirely by applying glyphosate.

What herbicide will kill bindweed?

Does Roundup work on bindweed?

Does bindweed die in winter?
The climbing stems die back during the winter only to re-emerge in the spring; they will twist themselves up and over pretty much everything. The heart-shaped leaves are a mid-green colour and the plant's white trumpet-shaped flowers are short-lived and can be 7cm across.
Does Roundup Gel work on bindweed?
