A reader asks how to kill Ivy climbing up a much-admired street tree in the general
vicinity of their house, but not in front of it. Either way I guess you have to enter into
a dialogue with your local Council. After all it is their liability, which is why you need
permission to plant a verge in front of your own property.

With the early leaf fall of so many of our lovely deciduous street trees in this area
it’s a bonus time to collect some from the gutters to compost. It saves the council
drains from leaf choke when it next rains and keeps our waterways flowing a little more
easily, plus they make very good compost. |

If you grow Chrysanthemums, it’s still not too late to
feed them with a potassium rich fertilizer, to swell their flowers over the next six
weeks. I’d recommend potassium sulphate rather than a water-soluble balanced
fertiliser, because that might put on too much leaf growth and that’s the last thing
you want. |
