I used plastic berry netting over my English ivy area, held up by 2'

eggs, Irish spring, and fish emulsion without much success.

Could you send some of your deer to Washington State? Here, English
Ivy is a highly invasive plant (it's the Kudzu of the NW) and nothing
seems to eat it.


Hey, when you get done with those deer could you please send them to
Tennessee? I've got at least a half acre of EI that I can't keep under
control and it threatens to pull down some of my trees. EI might just be
worse than kudzu. At least kudzu only grows heavily where there is adequate
sunshine but EI even spreads in dense shade.
