Can I shred Ivy and put it in the compost? I mean is it likely to grow
again from little bits like ground elder?


Not in my experience. But it's not quick to rot down, so best to chop
it into 4 inch lengths so the partially rotted stems don't get
entangled in your shovel in a year's time



No I was thinking of shredding it Kay. The trunks of the main stems are
too thick but I'll put them in the council tip.
