: Hi,
I recently took down some ivy that was reaching the roof!! Any ideas how to get the remains off the brickwork?
Thanks
Hi Neal,
I am currently working on the same problem for my parents, although their ivy is on the ground. It has completely overtaken the flower bed it's in! We used Roundup systemic total vegetation killer. (It is absorbed through the leaves into the plant.) It has taken two applications in two weeks, and appears to be working. I hear ivy is very difficult to kill and make take a couple seasons to get rid of all of it (it tends to try to come back if there are any tiny roots left, so I hear.)
