Killing Ivy
"mark" wrote in message o.uk... I have some very old and well established ivy growing up a a very old outbuilding. I want it gone. Mechanical means (ie., a mattock) would damage the old brick work. Round-up is not effective on the glossy leaves. I'm looking for a chemical warfare answer. The ground is just shingle and part of the drive. In previous years a dose of sodium chlorate would have done the job but is no longer readily available. Any ideaas? mark Picture number 18 in http://www.myalbum.com/Album=FLRZ48SV shows the Ivy growing up the side of the Theatre when we took it over in April 2010. First thing we did was cut the main stems and left it. Some had died back quite soon but the rest was removed after a hold up for a birds nest this year. No chemicals. Just cut and wait.
