My grandfather and I made this video togther, he has sadly passed away last year, but if you have any questions you can ask me

This was exactly what I was looking for. I sure appreciate the details you provided. My neighbor bought their home from someone who thought Chinese Wisteria and Enlish Ivy were perfect to use as a border between our yards. Unfortunately they are out of control and I'm doing the control measures...with their blessing thankfully.

Just a word of advice from a guy who uses sprayers all the time: put your water in first. Even if you aren't adding additional surfactant, most Roundup/ Ortho (and other pesticides/ herbicides products) include it. It will bubble up like crazy, even when filling slowly. Then you get that nasty foam overflow. All avoided by adding water first, then product, then mix well by teetering the sprayer container and/ or rolling it for several seconds. Bob's your uncle.

Sooo helpful! We are deluged with this horrible English ivy from my grandmother's homeplace. It is very heavy in some areas and grows so rapidly. I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. He reminds me a lot of my sweet Daddy.

Great detailed presentation to a very difficult problem. I feel like this is a marathon fight that requires perseverance and routine follow up.

Just the info I have been searching for. Thankful for all the details and knowledge sharing.

Thanks to this man for stating the dangerous nature of this chemical. Never heard anybody else acknowledging this. Some people have a conscience and intelligence 👍👍👍

Thank you, this video helped me clear ivy on my trees and the ground. Hope everyone watches this and takes action, ivy is awful stuff, and can ruin you home, windows, trees, etc.

If you keep up with the maintenance, control its growth, it is beautiful. Used overseas and they manage it.

I watched a few of these ivy killing videos and, by far, this was the best. Thank you for it.

Excellent video. Exactly what I came searching for.

Outstanding educational & tutorial video.

Really loved this video and production it was very helpful in an emergency 🚨 to save my dying pine tree in my front yard on a busy street 🤦‍♀️

I have many arborvitae bushes which have ivy at their base and around the ground. Can I spray the ivy without killing the arborvitae too? JR

Just loved your video. Thank you

Will this solution kill off pine trees? Trying to get rid of Ivy but not pine trees

I needed this information. Thank you!

I have arborvitae bushes and the ground is covered with Ivy can I spray the ivy without killing my arborvitae bushes too.

Thanks for such a thorough video!😊

❤ Thank you for sharing such an informational video, it really helped a lot 😊

most helpful video so far!

@amieb823 This is the best advice I've seen, and thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry to learn that your Grandfather has passed. As he said, I bought 12 sprigs about 25 years ago and now I'm totally invaded!! I have removed a lot from the trees, just the way he showed. I figured that out myself, but I hesitated to use anything like Roundup. I simply won't. The information he shared about the glyphosate becoming inert when it hits the dirt was a nugget of information I had never heard before. Thank you again and if you can, keep up you and your Granddads' good help to those of us who are ignorant. 😀

I am battling a bunch of this ivy that came from the neighbors yard. I have been using a product called Brush Killer from Lowe's. Seems to slowly be working to kill it. It is also under my trees which are 30 giant arborvitae 20 ft tall and packed together. I will have to try and rip it out of there as I don't want to kill the trees. What a nuisance this ivy is!!!

Thanknyou for a great video. Ive got this mess all over my tree ànd in my yard , fence ànd all over my shed and on the side of my house.

Is the English Ivy poisonous too like the Ivy poisonous

Underrated video.

Thank you! this was very thorough. I wondered about this though -- isn't there a risk of breathing the glyphosate while spraying? I really appreciated your kind thoughts about how overwhelming the problem is, and how neighbors could work together to address the problem.

i am a treasure hunter bit of ivy never gonna stop me

My concern is amphibians exposure. Is it safe for them ?

Never use epsom salt. Epsom salt is not a "TRUE SALT". It is used as a fertilizer in gardens and other situations.

Hi there, I appreciate your video, and thank you for such. I was looking for a way to say bye bye to the ivy and felt sorry for myself in having it, but then saw how much you were dealing with and now feel rather foolish but we all know how very invasive it is and having this against brickwork it is damaging the bricks, so if you please know of how to deal with this please let me know. I will greatly appreciate the help, however would like to use less chemicals if at all possible as I have pets to think of and the invasive ivy is at close quarters to living area, just off the patio bricks and also on another part of living area. Stay safe and best wishes to you. Maureen from England/UK

Wow this guy is good

blow lamp will sort tht shi out easy vaperise the stem with heat

Knowledgable sounding guy prepared to recommend Glyposate where necessary!

Gosh he's long winded..

😴💤

Spoiler alert, at the end, after 24 minutes, he’s still still standing in a field of ivy, he didn’t kill anything, doesn’t know what he’s doing, gee thanks.

I’m 12 minutes in, speed it up and do something besides lecturing us.
