English ivy can be a beautiful addition to any garden, but if left unchecked it can quickly become uncontrollable - here's how to remove it without using weed killer.
A gardener has shared the 'easiest' technique to eradicate English ivy from your garden for good, ensuring the picturesque climber doesn't turn into a rampant pest.
Conservation biologist and Our Wild Yard founder Hal Brindley has shared that there are numerous natural methods to eliminate ivy without resorting to chemical herbicides. Hal advised against such measures, saying: "Sure, you could try a spot treatment with a more natural alternative like a spray bottle of white vinegar. But our goal is to not put plant killers of any kind in our yard."
Hal warned: "English ivy grows through and over everything on the ground creating a tangled mess. If there are sticks, branches, logs, lumber, or any trash mixed in, peeling up the ivy becomes impossible. Even worse, it may prevent you from pulling the roots. One of the first things you need to do is take the time to remove sticks, branches, and logs."
Sharing his own tried-and-tested method, he added: "The easiest and fastest method I've found for this is to start at the top edge of the patch, face downhill, and dig my boot under the ivy stems along the line I want to cut." Hal advised: "Grab firmly where it enters the ground and pull upward. If it resists, wrap it once around your hand and pull harder.
