 Creeping Charlie is not a true ivy, tho' it's also called ground ivy
 - real name is Glechoma hederacea - also has been called
 gill-over-the-ground.  It spreads by rooting runners and seed.  It's
 fast growing and you might try it - can't say I've ever heard of its
 being used for this purpose.  Am not sure it would be worth the
 trouble as, unlike Hedera helix (ivy) new runners are very lax until
 they hit soil and root.  If you give it a go, let us know if it
 works >>

Remember that we once had an active correspondent on this list that states he 
liked creeping charlie.  He was immediately offered truckloads from all over 
the country.  We have not heard from him (Dean?) in a while so he may have be 
done in by all that "Charlie".<VBG>
