Never understood the problem with English Ivy. It only grows in the shade, you can see the line along my house where the sun never hits.

Never seen it in the wild, can't imagine. And if you don't want it around, rip it up. The root system is extremely shallow, couldn't be easier to kill.

Planted bunches of it year before last at camp. It's all either dead or barely hanging on.

It depends on the area. English Ivy is not native to the US, and it can fucking suck. It can easily take over entire areas. Since it re roots itself, it's awful to remove.

It's great in it's native environment

Just.. don't use it in the US. Plant natives plants. There are lots of incredible native vines.
