    Im going to sort out the garden once the weather is better and im not putting the inside back together. Have noticed that it has spread alot and seems to be in at least 4 places in the garden.



    One of which is under the base of the ivy, good excuse to rid the house of that as well.



    Whats the best killer to use on ivy and this vine?

    Cut it down to the base and remove it, dig out the roots as best you can and treat any regrowth with a weedkiller containing glyphosate.  Spray or paint it on and leave it for several weeks until the leaves have died.  That means that the weedkiller will have travelled back into the roots and is killing them too! image

    Chatted to neighbour and their Virginia Creeper is confined to  a small pot, which would probably explain why it hasn't gone off like a rocket.
