Flaming ivy
Hi
Does anyone have any thoughts on whether using a flame gun is an effective way of clearing ivy? I am currently using a swiss-switch and a rake, but it is apparent that its going to take several repeats to clear. It quite a large area approx 40' x 40'. TIA |

I would not waste your time using a flame gun, all they do is to kill off the leaves which then regrow, some sort of weedkiller would be more certain, like SBK, would be much more effective. Alan |
