Today we are going to be tackling the wall behind the Blue Spruce border. This is just an Ivy maintenance job as it's trimmed every year. It has in fact already been done once this year but by a little hotel gardener rather than the big house gardener which is why it needs doing again now. anyway without further ado, lets get going.
This is the picture we started with. It had grown over the wall but it was nothing like the last wall and was just a matter of pulling back over and then snipping off just below the top to remove the worst and then measuring a set distance from the top and making another cut to get a straight line.
I do two cuts as it's hard to get the line straight if you have all the weight of the Ivy pulling down. So basically I remove all the weight and then just have a few inches left to snip off. Here you can see the job part way through.
