Janet, Ivy is fine to shred and wont regrow but do be carefull its has no
seed heads on it as those will germinate beautifully! even the green ones
that are not ripe yet


They are the bits i took down the tip first thanks Charlie!
I intend to put in a climber or two instead of the ivy when I've got
everything cleared and the wire up. Once the four foot wire is in and
providing a safe fence from the dogs escaping to the back gardens, I'll
want to train something along to hide the bottom of the trees, the wire
and screen the back. Ordinary wire can get frayed, and broken over the
years and with the ivy there I couldn't see the holes/gaps in the hedge
but the dogs could find every tiny space unerringly.
i don't like them to be a nuisance to the neighbours.

Mind you the boys over the back regularly hit golf balls into the back
of the garden and I've chucked them all back now I've found them!
I had no idea so much soil exists in a two foot by 40 foot pile which
I've just had to riddle and cartload around the vegetable deep beds!

Janet
