Hi Gord,

Hi Paul,

I haven’t tried it on English Ivy, but given their broad leaves, I would imagine you’d have a good shot. I imagine you’ll need more than one dose.

And I will caution you that if you are going to immediately plant something once the ivy is gone, you need to be careful to keep the spray on the leaves and minimize what gets put on the soil.

Hi Nina,

Actually, Epsom salt doesn’t have the sodium chloride that table salt has, which is what helps kill the weeds.

Hi Brenda,

I just use a regular pump sprayer that I purchased at Ace hardware…nothing special needed for the formula. The only suggestion I have is that you mix it well in a different container, like the vinegar container, before you add it to the sprayer. Anything you won’t be using in the near future, store back in the vinegar container.
