Poison ivy in algerian ivy bed

| I have a large bed of Algerian Ivy as a ground cover and it has been infiltrated with poison ivy. Is there any effective way to kill the poison ivy without killing the Algerian Ivy? |

You can get a paint brush and paint Round Up on it as close to the ground as you can would be best. It may work but the best time to kill P.I. is in the fall. I've done it before and I've also sprayed the heck out of the foliage and beat it. Good luck, if you find something different it would be nice to know.

| I think it would require killing the Algerian Ivy to do that--and that may end up being the solution. The bed is about 50 ft by 10 ft and to paint the poison ivy with Round Up would be about like trying to paint every third blade of grass in a lawn. Several years ago I had read on a forum that you could use weed-and-feed formula on an ivy bed in late winter before the ivy had emerged but once I decided to try to get rid of the ivy in this bed I couldn't find the posting any more. |
