Worst job in the garden having moved into our neglected house in November.

I reckon the ivy was over 20 years old possibly nearer 30.

Needless to say the root was the worst part. 3 trips to the tip too.

Who puts Ivy in and then let's it go.

There was another in the garden and it pulled the wall over but happy to say the previous owners had that one to sort.

All trunks cut in Jan. Most leaves gone 2 months ago. My neighbour has 3 cats and regrettably birds rarely come near the house due to this.

I kept a close eye on it. 3 months back there were blackbirds nesting but for some reason they stopped and nothing I'd done. I suspect the cats terrorised it. Nothing has been interested in it nesting wise since then so I'm happy nothing was disturbed
