Round-Up worked okay, except that the ivy sprung up outside the main bed,
and then spread rapid-fire all over again. Ivy doesn't succumb to Round-Up
as well as some other species. The best luck I have had is with digging
the roots out, because then I can pull the vines, which leads to the
smaller sprouts going into new territory. That is so labor-intensive and
miserable, and naturally, plenty of roots and vines break, so there is
plenty to start up a patch again.
