The problem with Roundup is that people like to use the premixed version in
squirt bottles. That's 1%. Enough to kill grass in the cracks on the
sidewalk but not enough to do what you want done. The agricultural
concentration is, I think, a lot higher than that, but you figure it in
pounds per gallon so I'm not sure of the percentage.

If you just pull it up, it will come back (though the brush-b-gone idea
sounds like it would do the trick).

As far as I know, there is only one plant killer that will kill ivy and
it does
do the job. I've used it in the past to kill off areas of ivy.

Don't know if it's still made or not, smelled like rotting fish when
used.

trouble is it's been 20 years since using it and I've forgotten it's
name,
started with a V I think.


"Ammate X". But I think 2,4 D or triclopyr would work too. I would
*not* spray the whole thing with massive amounts of herbicide. And I
would not waste my time and money using Roundup, cuz it will take
something stronger.

Cut it all out as best as you can and haul it away. Treat the stumps
with "Brush-B-Gon", full strength, applied with a brush.
