IVY

[grannie39]

can anyone please tell me how to get rid of an ivy, it has climbed way up above our reach during our holidays, is there something i can put on the growing stems, or can i cut them in midstream and put something on them.?many thanks for any help.

if you cut the stems then spray with "ivy killer" a spray available from garden centres, or if nothing else is growing nearby pour neat cheap bleach on the roots, its a lot cheaper than "root out"

Once you've done as 'baza' suggests wait for the ivy to die and go brown. Much easier to remove then and causes little damage.

thanks to you both, I am going to try the cheaper way first. have a good little bank holiday, I will let you know how I get on.
