TRIED EVERYTHING- NOTHING WORKED !!!
We moved into a house , that has 3 different types of ivy in the garden, in various places. My main concern was the varigated type covering a garden arch.The arch has been removed, & we have tried all the various suggestions, including digging out countless bags of roots.. I have tried the wet solutions too. Nothing working! I felt guilty cutting the arch down, as the ivy was there first, but it was blocking the view. Will creosote painted on the other stump prevent it from regrowing, or will that damage the surrounding soil. I have even had a landscape gardener walk away from the problem. As his suggestion did not work. HELP !!! PLEASE !

If you're happy to use chemicals use the right one for the job ... SBK stump and brushwood killer wll deal with the problem if used according to the instructions.
Roundup done a reasonable job on the nettles, but didn't have much effect on the rest.
I got some Rosate36 (which is, like Roudup glyphosphate, but much stronger) I sprayed the whole area 3 times (starting in April) over 10 weeks and it killed everything green down there - even 2ft thick ivy on the fences.
I got it from Amazon, but available elsewhere.
It's tricky finding the correct dilution rate in the booklet that comes with it. But it's 30ml Rosate to 1L water - if you choose to use it.
Best of luck

As has been said " use as directed "

Cutting it down, digging out what we could and SBK on the stumps and any shoots that reappeared sorted it out ... there's none left except in the area where we want it to be.
The last two photos were taken from the same place just three years apart, so it can be done
Good luck.
