What is the best weedkiller for dealing with ivy?


Physical removal is much more efficient.
Cutting through the stems near the roots will see it off.

Ivy (and holly) seedlings will survive a direct hit with glyphosate. The
waxy coating on their leaves is surprisingly effective.

BTW at this time of year it is a waste of weedkiller as well.

Plants have to be in rapid growth for maximum effect,
