If it really gets to 70C, the hotbin should kill just about anything, bindweed included.

I've just managed to get hold of a secondhand one for the price of 2 luggage straps (the cam straps were missing) and am looking forward to filling it later this evening with the fresh manure we get delivered to site. Am very much hoping I will have a lot of rotted manure to add to the beds later this year after the brassica beds have been limed.

Thinking about it, I've composted bindweed in a sack of fresh chicken manure before, so it must be possible.

I compost it in an ordinary bin. The only time anything survived was my first year on the plot, when I was digging up roots the size of hawsers. They were so weakened when they came out that they were easily dealt with.
