Default My plan of attack on our English Ivy

Xref: 127.0.0.1 alt.home.lawn.garden:2276

I tried the round up, there seems to be too many layers, and keeps going :-P

As for the wacker I spose I'm mainly curious if they are 'strong & sturdy'
enough to cut through the vines so I can make a square cut at a time and
pull the rest out. Mainly concerned about the abilities of the wacker before
I go out and buy one. I know the wire fed won't be anywhere near suitable
:-)

I had ~900 sqf and it took me 2 weeks ridding all the layers of 300sqf

sqf
out by hand and ready to research a better alternative. I don't want to
rent machinery as it's on a slope and would like to retain the

stability.
But I can walk the slope so Im proposing that I have a go at it with a
gas weed eater with those heavy duty blades. Pull back the layers and
start again. then yank out the master roots.

Question here is will the gas weedeater with those blades or better be
suitable for this attack?

Have you considered multiple roundup applications in the spring?

Your only gonna prune it with a wacker.
