Ivy Growing In Hedges And Other Plants.

Ivy growing in hedges and other plants can quickly become a problem as it smothers other plants very quickly.It best to be removed by hand as much as possible and then the remaining shoots treated with round up weed killer.We normally do this by mixing the weedkiller with wall paper paste neat to make it easier to apply to the ivy leaves.You do not have to treat all the ivy leaves only about 30 percent of them the weed killer solution.This is best carried out in April,May and June then the ivy is growing at its most active.
