Ivy and creosote?
Question:I am going to construct a garden fence out of reclaimed railwy sleepers however these have been creosoted in the past can i let ivy grow on them or will the creosote kill it
Answers:
IVY IS A WILD PLANT & CAN GROW JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE...THEY`LL GROW LOVELY
MY DAD HAS IVY GROWING IN HIS GARDEN ON A TREATED TRELLIS..AS LONG AS THE SOIL ISNT CONTAMANATED THEY`LL GROW
It depends how long ago they were creosoted,if it was some time ago the ivy should be o.k.
Not much kills ivy.. the damned stuff.
CREOSOTE WILL NOT HURT PLANTS UNLESS YOU DRIP IT ON TO THE ROOTS BUT MOST PEOPLE USE FENCING PAINT NOW TO REDO FENCES AND GATES
