I too have an ivy problem and the only thing I've found that works is
blackberry/tree poison. From memory the active ingredient is TRICLOPYR
but anything tough enough to kill a tree would also kill ivy.

You have to plan the murder of ivy like a war though, a single battle
isn't enough. I've been trying to kill a humungeous plot of ivy for years
and I have it on the run but still have a huge lot to get rid of.



Problem with ivy - it seems capable of thriving without any roots in the
ground.
Getting your nasty stuff to do its business is thus made more problematical.
The only way in seems to be through the leaves and even then the spread
seems very limited.

A lot of mine has escaped over head high and so far has survived my various
forms of attack.

Wondering where this Triclo stuff can be got and where and how it should
be applied ?
