Must admit I did not dilute it but it worked a treat. Care if you have children or pets though.
Getting rid of Ivy? How dare you! Ivy was my mum!

. . or, for a more sensible answer, the RHS website states:
"Ivy can be killed by severing the stem and treating the stump with a proprietary stump and rootkiller (e.g. Scotts Roundup Tree Stump & Rootkiller, Bayer Tree Stump Killer, Doff Tree Stump & Tough Weedkiller and William Sinclair Deep Root Ultra Tree Stump & Weedkiller)"

great and thanx to you both I will have a look
We've just cleared our rockery of the bloody stuff, it was everywhere. We hacked away what we could then treated the stumps to a coat of neat Root Out or Round Up, every day I go out and look for any shoots that come up and give them a coat as well. We seem to be winning but I fully expect to keep on finding shoots for the foreseeable future.
