[AT] Field bindweed or morning glory

[Mike M]

I have a lot of areas that I need to keep clear, I'm going to start 
mixing Diquat with my Glyphosate, because the Diquat burns down really 
fast.  I'm going to start with a really low dose (1 tsp per gallon) and 
see how that goes. I don't want to kill the leaves before the Glyphosate 
has had a chance to get to the roots, but it should show me areas I've 
missed. That's the plan anyway.
