Whether now is the best time to do it I don't know, but I spray mine earlier in the year when it's growing strongly. AIUI ammonium sulphamate decomposes harmlessly and leaves no nasty residues. DO NOT confuse it with ammonium sulphate, which will do the ivy no harm at all (quite the opposite in fact). -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |
