Default Killing ivy

"Timothy Murphy" wrote

My wife has cut down an excessively rampant ivy,
and left me to kill the stub and root.
What is the best way to do this?


When I killed a very large ivy, the large leaved sort, I simply cut the
roots off below ground level as I had been told they haven't any dormant
buds below the ground so cannot regrow from the roots. Worked for me.
