Default Ivy



We have just moved into a new home and I have a lot of Ivy that has grown up
and over some old fence panels at the top of the garden.

I want to renew these panels and create a new shed base but would like to
get rid of all the Ivy in the hope it will not return.

Is there a good way to get rid or remove it to ensure it does not return.

Thanks.

Mel.

Dig it up. It won't regrow from its deep roots, though it will from
any stems that have layered, so you don't need to go far down. But it
isn't a major problem in a small area, as it is easy to remove shoots
as they grow.
