Thanks to all for helpful info on this little issue.

I knew that ivy was invasive and should be kept away from
masonry, etc, but the proposed patch could've been just
another stop on my weed-whacker route. Apparently it's
not necessarily that simple.

Turns out there's a neighbor with both ivy and hasta
(who actually knows gardening g) who has offered
some hasta.

So I'll try hasta this season. Maybe ivy next season if
the hasta doesn't work out.

Cheers,
Puddin'
