Hi everyone,

I have a problem in my back garden with ivy growing over a fence, and the ivy is now starting to strangle some of my plants. I've been trying to cut back the ivy every year but it's and endless task and it's starting to win the battle. I've tried Round-Up but all that did was kill the parts I could spray - not the whole plant. Spraying the entire ivy isn't possible because it's growing too close to my other plants.

The ivy 'lives' next door (which is why I haven't just cut it down) so I'm looking for ways to kill off the ivy without trespassing !! Please help !
