One of the previous owners of our house or the house next door planted
some ivy way-back-when.  This obnoxious ivy has taken over an entire
flowerbed where I'd like to plant some flowering shrubs such as
hibiscus.  The ivy is growing under our front porch, over one of our
fences, under the shrubs that separate our place from our neighbor's,
and crawls up one of the neighbor's trees.  I think our neighbor likes
the ivy on the tree.

Is there a way I can get rid of the $&*#! ivy without killing off the
shrubs that already exist?  Can I kill it off in such away that I
could grow interesting plants (read: ANYTHING but $#*&! ivy!) there?
We've only had our place a year, yet already this ivy has chocked out
many plants in spite of our trimming it back.

Thanks,

--Lynn
