[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect a lot of homeowners inherited it when they bought the house, it was a very trendy thing to plant for a while. Our neighbors on all sides have it to some degree and they just don't care whereas I'm constantly pulling whatever creeps into our yard.[/quote] Same. I don't like any of the creepers, native or not, but ivy is the worst. All our neighbors have it. It is pulling down our fence, infesting the lawn, and trying to get into my basement. Several of my neighbors have dead vine-choked trees. They think it is good for privacy because it's greenery. I pull it up where I can, mow it where I can't, and am not above using some Roundup along the fence line. It's so gross.[/quote] It looks like roundup doesn’t do much for English ivy. Triclopyr appears to work better. The safety data looks mixed, but if you’re okay using roundup you probably won’t mind triclopyr. Horticultural strength vinegar will do it too.[/quote]
