Hello folks, newbie here, and I have a question for you.
Bindweed is a common, invasive weed that can create new growth from tiny fragments of roots remaining after the main body of the plant has been dug out. Because it can regrow from tiny fragments, it's extremely persistent, and causes a lot of problems for farmers, gardeners, horticulture etc.
This may seem like no big deal, but when you consider the growth can be a shoot 20-30cm long, yet come from a fragment of root less than 1cm, and in complete darkness - how can this be?
