Default Killing Ground Ivy
In article ,
says...

Hi All,

I've a number of flower beds that the previous owners of my house allowed to
become swamped with an established layer of ivy, I'm happy enough to remove
it manually if necessary but am also very prepared to wage chemical warfare.
Is glyphosate the way to go or is there something a bit pokier that would
work? Is there anything specific to consider in the application (aside from
avoiding stuff I want to keep although I'm prepared for some collateral
damage).

I'm intending to replant the beds so don't want to sterilise the soil if I
can help it.

Cheers

By "ground ivy" do you mean glechoma hederacea or hedera helix that's
growing along the ground?

Janet
