Hey guys I bought my house and thought the ground cover was pretty, but then found out rather quickly that I did not like the ground cover the previous owners or whoever planted bad smelling ivy. I mean I am not kidding when I say it's bad smelling. Also, by the end of the summer it was growing absolutely everywhere. So for an anniversary present last fall my husband hired landscapers to redo a big part of my front yard which included taking out the ivy and planting pretty rosemary bushes, bulbs, and tulips. It was very pretty for a few weeks come spring but then the ivy was back in a fury. (Duh the landscapers refused it was their fault and wouldn't come back out and redo their work) This stuff is so invasive it grew under my concrete walkway and to the other side. It also is growing in the little cracks in the driveway. So I dug up all the tulips and rosemary and put in pots and dug up all the mulch and dirt to where the ivy was at. I dug it out as much as i could and have hit it all summer with roundup I found at Lowes for kudzu and other invasive ivys. It seems to go away for a few weeks then it pops up again and again and again. Any advice on what to do next? I'm starting to get frustrated with having all my dirt on the walkway (alot of pots strewn everywhere with rosemary bushes and tulip bulbs in it lol) and my front yard looking so horrible all summer little less would I want it to continue being this bad into the winter. I'd love to get it back to a somewhat decent spot so come spring I get my pretty tulips blooming again. Thanks so much!
