What's growing in builders bag?

It's a squash  - pottimaron and bindweed making a bid for freedom. It is basically a bag of nasty roots with compost on top and weed membrane. I will just keep pulling out bindweed as it pokes through and then cover again over the winter. We did this when clearing the first plot and quite alot it rotted down (will leave it quite a while). We can then turn it out and get the bad stuff out and try drowning the persistant ones. I just didn't want to bag up half the nutrients from the soil and take them to the tip! Am sort of regretting having a big bag there now, but I am telling myself I won't see the bag once the plant romps away anyway!
