Ivy prolific growth problem

 Hi all

I have just realised that the ivy growing at the
end of our garden under the sycamore treee (melbourne)
is expanding and expanding across the front lawn.

Short of digging it up and my husband and I are not young
anymore, can I poison this in some way - we have no animals,
neither do the neighbours.

Thank you.

Ruth.

You can poison it but be aware that if any poison gets on your lawn or parts of
the garden you want,
it will kill that too.

Thank you for your reply and I will be very careful.

Would you have any idea what kind of poison or brand I should look
for?

Roundup or other glyphosphate based herbicides.  Roundup is a bit expensive,
Bunnings carry cheaper
brands.

 While there are many types of Ivy , most will give you trouble..
see here and ask around...
