Over run with Ivy
Can anyone help please?
I have masses of ivy that keeps encroaching on my garden. There used to be some commercial products to kill ivy but I understand they are no longer available. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can kill it- or at the very best give it a severe headache to discourage it? Many thanks John |

I seem to think that if it's green and growing then Roundup will fix it. -- He spoke with a certain what-is-it in his voice, and I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.

Ivy has such waxy leaves it tends to run off, you can bruise the leaves first (with a strimmer) or mix the round up with some old engine oil, but honestly it is easier to just dig it out after cutting back or apply stump killer type weedkillers after cutting back -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |
