24D is probably the most effective and least harmful approach so long as your far, far, far away from grape vinyards. 24d is systemic and will kill the roots

Round-up and equivlants will also kill the ivy but at higher concentrations. It's also systemic and will kill the roots.

Total veg killer will require a more active ingrediant - higher concentration to kill the ivy. I'm not sure it will get to the roots and kill it for good.

Vinagar, bleach, Gas, Diesel, etc. will brown it and you think you've got it, but will be back soon.

Water softner salt I guess is good if you only want to plant beach grass in that area from application on. At the concentration you'll need to kill the ivy it will kill everything else for a long time.

I'd go with a more selective weed killer at lower rates to minumize ground contamination and get the job done. I'd go with 24D if far away from vinyards or use Roundup (and equivlants).
