Hi all im new to this forum and also to gardening. Ive been given a few plants which i intend to plant fingers crossed tomorrow. I do however have one question/problem. I need to kill off some climbing ivy like plant that my next door neighbour planted years ago and its just gone mad. Its growing up my house and its even growing along the edge of my garden where i want to plant my plants but i just know that the plants are going to get suffocated if i don't sort the problem out now.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to kill it off and get rid of it. Its horrible stuff and is stuck tight to my walls. :o(.

Please help.

Hi there and Welcome,

Its nice to meet you.

 

Hi Babyboy welcome to g c .

 

Good morning Babyboy and welcome to GC 02 :gnthb:

 

Good evening, and welcome.:gnthb:

 

Hi all thanks for your response sorry ive not replied since been rather busy and forgot to check. Its Green Ivy to my knowledge it doesn't flower been in the house 8yrs and never seen flowers. Its rather horridle stuff (my opinion-would have looked nice if it was cared for and looked after)

My house is pebble-dashed (not my choice) We want to get rid as we are hoping to re-paint our house soon. and need the ivy out the way.

Thanks for all your welcome's.

cvuty the ivy at the base, pikaxe out the roots and then pull awaty the stems with the aid of a paintscraper or small crowbar.

 

I have just obtained a rubber plant and i was wondering if it can go out in the garden??
