Wow, your ivy is a lot less vigorous than mine, apparently. We strip it off the buildings and cut it to ground level, and then do the same thing 2 years later. It grows at an amazing pace and seems to thrive on being cut back. I can't count the number of times I've had it all the way down. Big stems drill and fill roots side with glyphosate after cutting down. I'd be interested in a solution too. I like it in some places, but in others it's a major PITA. There is an interesting parasitic fungus?/plant you can infect it with that decrease vigour and has curious fruits. -- Regards, Martin Brown |
