Default Best Way To Get Rid Of Ivy


"Matt Smith" wrote in message
...

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience with winning a battle against ivy? Is it
a case of just stripping the roots from the ground on an ongoing basis,
or is there a particularly effective form of weed killer?



Over in uk.d-i-y the standard answer is "angle grinder".
Having just removed a very large Budleia from my daughter's garden I thing
the standard answer on uk.rec.gardening should be "mattocks".

Cheers
