Hello. (sorry, I meant grave site).
We have been taking car of my grandparents and father's grave site for many years. About 5 years ago their part of the cemetery got overtaken by a really nasty weed - field bindweed (according to an app I downloaded). I have attached some pictures... So far, we have been planting annuals. I've been reading about field bindweed and the only way to get rid of it is either with some heavy chemicals or by constantly pulling them out, which is not possible for us as we live about 2 hours away.
Last year I tried using fabric and it was an improvement, but the weeds still managed to get through the openings where the flowers (annuals) were planted. Hope I'm making sense :)
This year we are thinking about planting couple of bushes. There is no shade and, obviously, it's not possible to constantly water the plant.
What are our options? The cemetery is close to NYC.
I would really appreciate your advice as this battle has been going on for years...
Thank you so much.
