How can I effectively remove English ivy from my garden?

To effectively remove English ivy from your garden, you can start by cutting the ivy at the base of the plant and pulling it out by hand or using a garden tool. Make sure to remove all the roots to prevent regrowth. You can also smother the ivy by covering it with a thick layer of mulch or using herbicides specifically designed to kill ivy. Regular maintenance and monitoring are key to preventing the ivy from coming back.
