Since we don't have a gardening section as such, so I thought I'd try here....
I've had a new fence up, after clearing three skip loads of ivy from the old one, but my neighbour won't do the same. Obviously, I don't want it growing back over my side, as it gets in the gutters, on the walls etc.
Someone told me to find a good sized stem and knock some copper nails in, or drill a hole and insert a piece of copper pipe.
Allegedly, the copper corrodes and produces copper sulphate, which kills the plant, without him being any the wiser.
Is there any truth in this ?
