Unwelcomed panel fence

[Vir Campestris]

I wouldn't plant any ivy anywhere. It's too darnn vigorous. I keep having to pull it out of the lawn where it spreads.

==================

True, but I guess it depends on how much/fast you want cover.

[Martin Bonner]

Variagated ivy are much less vigorous. (Surprised it survives mowing though.)

[Martin Brown]

Variagated forms are nothing like as vigourous. But if they revert to all green then watch out!

I'm sure a chav will think his own garden would be "nice"!

Putting "plastic butterfly and Ladybird things from the Pound shop" on a fence is very "chav" like, the sort of thing I would expect on a council estate, as well as cats disappearing when chavs don't like them in their own garden.

Not all council houses are hovels, some are very nice.

Thank you for your expert contribution. Could that possible be due to the absence of cats?

[Vir Campestris]

It sends runners out into the grass. They're actually under the lawn surface; the leaves poke up. Bits of leaves get mowed off, but it doesn't seem to stop it.

Mr Pounder, in an earlier post, attributed his neighbour's lack of cats to his actions. Or certainly trying as hard as he could to imply this on the 27th January of this year. I was convinced there are more recent statements made by Mr Pounder along a similar line but a quick search and google groups got in the way.

[Ri©ardo]

But Mr Pounder (Esquire) isn't necessarily on the same planet as the rest of us, is he?

:-)

Esquire my arse.

[Ian Jackson]

Ivy's OK if you keep it strictly in check. If you don't, it can wreck a panel fence.

Keep it well-pruned, and pull up any spreading roots (usually easy, as these are normally very shallow). The occasional selective puff of Weedol spray doesn't come amiss.

[Norman Wells]

Is that a request?

If so, what's involved exactly?

[ARW]

It's not me that is pouncing around using the title esquire.

[Norman Wells]

That would be a strange thing to do indeed.

[ARW]

So ask Steve Pounder why he does just that.

[PeterC]

AIUI, "Esquire" and "Mr." shouldn't be used together - one or t'other but not both and not at the same time also and as well.

[Ophelia]

Maybe he is an estate agent. In USA I believe estate agents call themselves Mr *** Esquire.

[ARW]

Trust me, he is not an estate agent.

[Ophelia]

Ok:)
