Got a problem now.

Decieded to for this time only, to prise it away from my wall and just
bend it over the boundary wall. So that any new growth sort of arches
away .

The tendriles were lifting the roof tiles and were under the verge and
barge boards.

The problem now is in doing that, the top course of say 4 bricks from
the boundary wall were dislodged and went crashing down, and smashed a
few pots.




But people often say that ivy does no damage it merely shows up damage
that's already there.

I was under the impression that it ate into the mortar then the bricks
thereby damaging the wall. I also thought that plants such as Virginia
Creeper, Climbing Hydrangea did NOT damage the walls and were the climbers
to have.


How about covering the walls with a thick layer of grease :-)


eeeeeerrrrrr. How would you get it to stick at a time like this ?????????
