How do you get rid of ivy?
 

Hi guys,

My new outdoor enclosure is just about ready to go. A bit later than planned, due to a fractured foot, but better late than never!

However I've noticed that ivy keeps popping up. I dig it up at the root, but more keeps appearing. Do you know of any tort friendly ways of getting rid of it (hopefully permanently)?

Thanks.

Not easily as you have found. But if you drop any small piece of ivy it will shoot up. So if you dig up the roots, you must get every little bit I am afraid:0(

I think the only way is to keep pulling it up whenever you see it.

Thanks both. I will just keep pulling it up and hope it doesn't come back.

It doesn't appear that photo bucket is working at the moment and I haven't set up any other system to share photos. But if you have instagram head to my account @gemjam1987 and check out the most recent pictures of the outdoor enclosure.

I will be adding more features and plants in the future, so any suggestions are welcome. It is about 3m x 3m so a good size which will hopefully last. Just need to set up an entrance into the greenhouse, where there will be an insulated hide.

Thanks Gemma - Ive never used instagram, so will give it a try as I don't want to miss out!
