Will Roundup kill English Ivy?

Answer by  mb (5482)

You can use Roundup but it is not very effictive. English Ivy is particularly pernicious. I like to use a combination of bleach and water. A ten to one ratio is best.

The problem with English Ivy is that it should never have been brought to this continent. But, as to the question. Round-Up will not completely eradicate this plant. Even if sprayed without diluting, it will only kill the leaves and new shoots. You must dig down and get to the deepest roots.
