Answer #1:
Ivy Problem. You must use a "brush" herbicide such as Roundup. This
is not the same as for grasses. Spray on a very sunny day, when no wind
is blowing. -- Janice Murphy Comment
Answer #2:
Ivy Problem.
Perseverence and a multi pronged attack strategy is what is required to
eradicate this noxious weed. Repeated application of weedkillers that
claim to kill combined with digging up the roots will eventually kill
the plant. Cutting grooves in remaining roots and stems and pouring in
fluid is effective, better still putting some gel into slots can have a
more lasting effect. -- Terry Ramsden Comment
Answer #3: Ivy
Problem.
Springtime is best if spraying. The weedkiller is much more effective
if you can get to it before the leaves darken and the waxy coating
develops. -- Mark Edwards
Factoid
