The only problem with this, you don't want to spray the vinegar on or near plants you want to keep. Another suggestion, my friends rented a front end loader and dug out all of their Ivy (root and all), and now they don't have this issue.

I wouldn't use it anywhere but in the yard, but for this one time, it was great. I haven't had any luck with vinegar and epson salt.

It's a cheap way to start.Grannie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16809173900277964485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-57781482084357352352015-04-28T17:26:41.225-05:002015-04-28T17:26:41.225-05:00I've been battling ivy at my house for a coupl...I've been battling ivy at my house for a couple years now. The only way I am having luck is by pulling it up by hand. Not an easy process! But I don't have any growth where I managed to pull it all up last year. Good luck!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024965257131137738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-5743410377678962872015-04-28T17:14:29.186-05:002015-04-28T17:14:29.186-05:00Glad to see much progress.

I mowed it repeatedly til it died...but at first it seems to like it!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.com
