Hi does vinegar work we are moving into a house and there is Ivy growing everywhere If it does I can buy gallons but if I have to use roundup or similair it would cost a fortune if it wasn't that the house is got most things I would have backed of x
Don't rely on vinegar. Dig the ivy out and then just use glyphosate on any new shoots that reappear. Check my photo above - that 'hedge' of ivy was totally removed without the use of any chemical and it has not returned. That area is now a veg patch.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
We had masses of ivy and trying to clear it by hand was going to be an impossible task. We had the borders rotovated in April and have had no regrowth to speak of. Just one or two bits reappeared and they could then be removed by hand.
As we were stripping the entire garden rotovating was practical for us. It may not be if you want to keep and established garden.

use vinegar, it works better and is 100 times cheaper

we pulled alot of ivy off the bottom of the trees, will the ivy on the top part of the tree die seeing it is not connected
does anybody have an answer to the question above
Yes, it will die and go brown - eventually the leaves will blow away in the wind but it may take a while.

Thank you so much! The vines are almost to the top of the trees!
That's just how it was here when we moved in - and right up to the top of the house gable!!! All gone now
