My wife has cut down an excessively rampant ivy,

What is the best way to do this?
Just dig it up. If the roots are rather thick, chop them off with a
spade, hand axe or grub axe, about a foot or so away from the stump.
IME ivy is not deep rooted, and long trailing roots can be hauled out
of the ground without too much difficulty. Just grab them and pull!
Smaller roots can safely be left in the ground to rot, provided
they're buried.
