Hayden starts with ... I have been trying to kill the huge ivy growth on my wooden fence. It's roots are on the other side of the fence and I don't get along with the neighber there. I'm going to put some new plants there but anything I do plant gets strangled. Does anyone know of any cheap or free techniques for getting rid of it.??? | About the Author Hayden Central coast nsw 7th October 2010 8:03pm #UserID: 4312 Posts: 43 View All Hayden's Edible Fruit Trees |

Lorna says... Hey it is the same answer as on the tree killing thread. Grazon Extra or Access. Both chemicals contain triclopyr and picloram, the access is one that you mix with diesel and apply to the trunk, and the Grazon is the one you mix with water and spray on the foliage. Many a tree has died of "mysterious disease" from these chemicals.......Neighbours should really think of the consequenses to neighbours of such invasive things grown on fences. | About the Author Lorna Albany WA 7th October 2010 9:56pm #UserID: 591 Posts: 91 View All Lorna's Edible Fruit Trees |

Lorna says... Access is around the $100 mark, and it dilutes with 8 litres of diesel, so makes 9 litres all up. Only a small amout gets used to kill a big tree. Cheap if the neighbours offending tree is going to distroy thousands of dollars worth of septics, pavers or fence! In WA it is available from Agricultural retail stores such as Landmark, Elders, CRT etc. Don't think Bunnings keep it. | About the Author Lorna Albany WA 8th October 2010 10:05am #UserID: 591 Posts: 91 View All Lorna's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... lindylou, Wayne gave some wise advice in this thread: https://www.daleysfruit.com.au/forum/tree-killing-poison/ If you are lucky it may be enough if you put it in writing and/or discuss a visit to the council. Are the neighbours renting? | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton Mid West WA 17th October 2010 8:40pm #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |
Hayden says... I cut all of the vine of at the thick roots through the fence. There were 6!!! They haven't complained so I don't think they've noticed as they don't go in the garden at all or they don't care. Pulled all of the ivy of the fence as I was worried it could grow without roots in the ground. | About the Author Hayden Central coast nsw 21st October 2010 7:06pm #UserID: 4312 Posts: 43 View All Hayden's Edible Fruit Trees |
