Hello Everyone, It' good being back. Since I was here last; I've moved back into the house I grew up in so I'll be needing lots of help with my yard and know I can find it here.

Take care; and happy postings

Hi, syl. If you have any of the ivy laying on the ground you can see roots sprouting from it. Just cut off those pieces and lay it along your new fence. Keep it watered well while it establishes.
Even if you do not have any already sprouting roots, you can cut off any length and bury the stem. Leave the leaves above ground. Still keep it well watered while it grows roots and begins to climb. Ivy is easy enough to grow. Much harder to get rid of later.

So I don't need to try to get pieces from the root? It is so nice and thick on the side fence; been there since I was a little girl. Adding it to the backside of the fence will keep me from having to paint it again as well as be privacy from neighbors and it's free. lol

Thank you so much for your response.

Nope, It roots fairly easily as long as the soil is damp. You can take a long strand and wind it into a pot of soil covering the stem with a bit of soil too. It will begin to develop roots and you can then plant it whole or cut into pieces along your fences as well. Just want to keep it from growing up trees and such because it can choke them to death.
