Climbing Ivy
I have ivy over my garage wall which has been there for about 10 years. We cut it back to 'the wood' yesterday in an effort to control it. Three trips to the tip later, and the wall is now bare of greenery but the main 'very thick' branches are left by Labradouble

Identification of climber
one growing against a wall. Very vigorous, deciduous and red leaves in winter before they fall. Not sure which would win in the battle for supremacy - the Boston Ivy or a Virginia Creeper !!  Don't know what is but sure it isn't a Virginia Creeper by Grayfleur

How do I get rid of ivy and wild asparagus vine?
Hi All! I have a back wall and fence with ivy and wild aspargus vine and as I understand it the Ivy gives off a fluid in it's roots that stops other plants growing near it. Most of it is holding up some dead Elms along with the wild asparagus vine by Liz Douglas

bindweed, alder, buttercups, ivy
Hi, I've got bindweed, alder, buttercups and ivy growing in different parts of my garden and I can't get to their roots to get rid of them without digging up/killing off other plants I want to keep. I thought about using that gel weedkiller by kish

Container plant -acid and shady
other ideas? Thanks Noodle I love heuchera but have stopped growing them in pots now as I've lost too many to the dreaded vine weevils.  The ones growing in the borders have all been fine. Gentians!   Heucheras worth a try. Ajugas, small varigated leaved by Supernoodle
