I just bought a house that has a hill planted with ivy. I do not know
the specific species of ivy - it looks like "generic" ivy to me.

The problem: the ivy is full of weeds due to lack of care. The weeds
are of many types from dandelions to sumac bushes. Is there a chemical
or something that ivy is resistant to and that can kill weeds? I real-
ize that I will have to dig up plants one at a time that the chemical
doesn't kill, but the more weeds I can chemically remove, the less my
back will ache!

Any suggestions as to how to clear my ivy patch are appreciated.
Please mail replies to me.

Thanks in advance,
