Gardeners use cardboard to control bindweed in July

Gardeners are advised to use cardboard to combat bindweed, a persistent weed that thrives in July's heat. Cardboard blocks light, depleting the weed's root reserves and preventing it from photosynthesizing, effectively starving it. This method avoids harsh chemicals and enriches the soil as it decomposes. Other strategies include using bamboo canes to contain bindweed or mowing lawns regularly to weaken the weed.
