Playing whack a mole with my neighbours ivy. Keeps popping up on my side of the fence. Fuck whoever brought it to Australia.
Why? Climate differences?
It doesn’t have the same pests and diseases as in Europe to keep it in check.
Nah it’s pretty intent on covering the whole of England too tbh. Good for the bees in September tho ☺️
Kudzu CONSUME
I think the vines in the second photo are kudzu tho
Definitely. OP is clueless.
English Ivy happily spreads too and will also smother natives.
Yeah but it won’t grow in the sun.
My yard begs to differ.
English ivy may grow better in Kentucky soil than Kent chalk, but I’m not familiar with that in the way I am kudzu.
Oh in that case Kakugo shiro
Kudzu is some wild stuff, one vine tendril grows a foot a day and it kills entire forests.
What I don’t get is why we don’t eat kudzu.
IIRC a lot of it has at some point been sprayed with super toxic herbicide to try and kill it off.
Don’t quote me on that though I’m just quoting a Wendigoon video from memory
Because Crake is saving it for some special project at Rejoov.
I hate (and am terrified) that I understood this reference. That series is horrifying.
Kudzu was the last bioweapons unit of the Union army in the US civil war. It never surrendered, it is still fighting the American South, and winning the guerilla war.
Kudzu is Chinese arrowroot tho?
