Is that the same plant as bind weed "Convolvulus arvensis"? I have this morning glory ALL OVER! It is the bane of my existence! I have been struggling with that plant from hell for 12 years now. I would recommend anyone not to let that devil weed get out of control. I swear if you sit long enough at my place you will have one if not 2 of those devil plants trying to climb you. My poor clover is gets choked out by that stuff. I spend at least 2 hours a night pulling that shit. I will compost them until they get the seeds on them. Then into the fire they go. I bet i pick probably 3 or 4 5 gallon buckets worth every night. I do have poor soil so i know its trying to be a ground cover but uggghhhhhh!
No. not the same plant. This one doesn't flower, as far as I know. Here's a bit more info:

It overwintered in Arkansas and has behaved itself, thus far.

As Greg said: Do it Dana!!
As for protecting plants from chemical drifts, there's no perfect answer really but a dense multi-layered structure is always going to protect at least some of the plants.
