[header] How to get rid of bindweed [title] Pull out small patches of bindweed. [step] If the bindweed is growing around the borders of your garden or in small groupings, you can pull it out. Use a pitchfork to gently turn over the dirt or soil underneath the plant so you can pull out the roots, which can grow to 10 ft (3.0 m) deep. 
It's important that you remove the roots to discourage new shoots from growing. Dispose of both the roots and the plant immediately in the trash.
