Default Killing ivy (as Glyphosate)

Yeah thats all fine and well, but how do you kill that nasty ivy that
seems to resist all types of poison. Nothinh short of an all out war

Not easy. You need to rip it all off, leaving about 30cm of stalk.
Then use tree killer. Then probably use it again.

Wear a mask when you pull down the ivy, don't burn it, and shower
afterwards - the stuff's slightly toxic.
