Ivy can be a real nuisance in gardens, spreading rapidly and overwhelming other plants. But one gardener has shared a simple household item that will kill it for good
English ivy, although native to the UK, can become a real headache for gardeners under certain conditions. With the ability to invade aggressively, it thrives best in areas with mild temperatures and consistent moisture.
English ivy also uses aerial roots to anchor itself, and these can penetrate cracks or joints in buildings, potentially causing structural harm to homes, reports the Express. In a bid to eliminate the pesky ivy problem from his garden, Steve Cockrill sought advice on the Gardening Hints and Tips Facebook group.
Jennifer Clark said: "Chop it at the base and remove as much as you can, then add bleach over it." Elaine White said: "I have killed very old invasive ivy that has crawled up next doors house and literally thought would be impossible to get rid of. A large bottle of bleach killed the lot within days. It works."
