It's interesting that this post should appear, as I am trying to
do the opposite. I have a white fence that I am hoping to never paint again,
as it will (I'll keep my fingers crossed) be covered with English Ivy.
I have heard that there is a particular type of string that one should use
to tie ivy to vertical surfaces. The string supposedly biodegrades after
one season. Can anyone make a specific recommendation?

Don't do it! Unless you are in its native land. We are battling our
neighbor's ivy as well. There are so many other options for your
fence!


Why did you reply to a 24-year old post? Do you even know if the person
who posted the original is still alive?

When responding, one never knows if any poster is alive, regardless of
original date.
