potentially...have to practice on my own turf first. I had this awesome document from a european monastery describing their garden...I need to find it but it is in backup disks (I hope) from about 10 years ago... need to do some serious riffling thu the big shed. Starting in a paddock might be nice tho...better than having to rip out all the stuff first like I have to do here. Need to start working on the soil asap Were you thinking raised garden beds?
hmmm so there would need to be willow or something like that...been thinking about planting some of that...handy stuff...dunno how shite it is to control tho, might be a bit like bamboo
ooohh Have joined diggers and been up to at erth...bought some apple trees and a 16th century pear.....best pot them soon!!! I need your killer ivy knowledge....fancy coming over one weekend for a garden date?
Gardening date sounds awesome... just not this weekend =(
You need to start killing the ivy now. The P&W way of killing ivy is this: Cut/nick the bark of the ivy on the vines that are closest to the source you can find. Paint straight round-up onto the cut with 5 seconds of cutting it. Wait for ivy to die off and repeat on bits that are not dying.
It will take you months to kill it but don't be tempted to remove it manually - you won't do yourself any favours. Let the poison kill it before you pull it out.
ripped out heaps already but mostly just so I could see what was going on underneath and so we could start taking down the ugly fence. round up eh....right
