Hi I'm planning to grow some ivy up the wall of our house. It's almost always in the shade and could benefit from a bit of greenery (yes i've weighed up the pros and cons!) - the question is, what soil requirements does it have?
At the moment a path runs along the bottom of the wall with about 2 inches of gravel between the slabs and the wall. I'm planning to attach two fan shaped trellises to the wall to start it off but how much and what type of soil do I need to replace the gravel for to get the ivy to grow?
Many thanks
