English ivy causes serious problems for gardeners as it penetrates the soil cover, clogs and blocks sunlight, depletes the soil and attracts pests. If you notice that this plant has started to grow in your vegetable garden or orchard, it is important to take immediate action because ivy can grow up to several meters in a short time.

Fortunately, you don't have to spend money on chemicals to control English ivy. To solve this problem, it is sufficient to have rock salt on hand. You should cut the ivy and make a hole in the roots, which you then fill with salt. After that, fix the area well with tape or other materials. This method will dry out the plant, preventing it from growing further.

Repeat this procedure every week. Usually, one or two applications are enough to get rid of English ivy, but if it has been growing for several years, more time and effort may be required. To speed up the result, you can also sprinkle salt around the ivy stem.

When the ivy dries up and dies, you can dig up its roots and get rid of this unwanted plant completely.

As a reminder, houseplants green up your space and bring benefits, but they can also be a source of inconvenience and problems. Some of them can attract cockroaches.
