I have a huge bed of ivy which is now highly visible after I removed a

I don't mind if it destroys everything else; it's an eyesore at
present and climbing my trees!

You must not have any deer. They ate all the ivy they could possibly
reach.

Could you please ship me some of your deer? If they've eaten all of your
ivy they should be hungry enough to tackle my 1/2A of ivy-choked trees. I
know that nothing else I've tried including potent herbicides had any
effect on it...


How much ivy can you possibly have on a 1/2 acre? Don't you own a pair of
loppers? You should have gotten to it last month before it leafed out.
What kind of ivy are you talking... English ivy roots are not very deep,
they're pretty easy to yank out of the moist spring ground. When you have
poison ivy and thorny vines then complain.
