English Ivy is a noxious weed around here -- once it gets established it
smothers everything and is extremely difficult to get rid of. If it's
allowed to grow up trees it will seed and be spread by birds to
undisturbed woodlands. It works well as a ground cover, but if you're
interested in gardening or growing wildlowers in the future, you'll regret
it. Please be be kind to your neighbors (and future generations) and
consider pulling it up now while you have the chance.

Here's some more information about the problems English Ivy causes and how
to get rid of it:

I've planted some English Ivy in the semi shady part of my yard. Every
other vine (poison ivy, honeysuckle) has done well in the same area.

I expected the ivy to branch and cover the ground, but its done very little.

Help?
