Yes I know landscaping fabric is horrible! The previous owners also put that stuff everywhere, I'm still having a hard time getting it up!! If I ever move, I'm going to move to a house that the previous owners were conscious with what they did with their landscape. It's so hard to get around the horrible stuff. I think I'll try cardboard because I always hoard it for this very purpose and have a lot stored up in my garage. I'm not sure if the clear plastic would work dyzzy because it only gets a bit of morning sun.
It's weird you mention that Tiffany, the directions on the ivy roundup told me to pick all the tops off and then soak the ground with the roundup? I have a bottle of the undiluted stuff, I think I'll dig up whatever I can then hit it one more time with the undiluted bottle. Then cardboard it very very thickly (maybe midnight run to the cardboard recycler when no one is looking to get more?
THEN tons O mulch? Any suggestions on what kind? The rest of my house is the black stuff but I don't mind using a different type I was even thinking of using the red rubber mulch just to see if that'd heat it up and *cook* everything more, but I don't want a pain something similar to landscaping fabric to deal with.
I'll be doing most of this this weekend, already pre warned the hubby of our weekend plans! lol
