This old church has pervasive ivy growing on it. We have attempted to sever the roots at the base but the ivy seems to be rooted behind the stones. We believe that if we do not restore this building now it will be beyond saving. How can we get rid of the ivy without damaging the building further?

My veg garden gas been going for 9 years and is now tired and performing poorly. I am not really able to dig it anymore, nor have I farmyard manure to dig in.I see you're not really a fan of raised beds but I had intended to put them in to avoid digging and make it easier to renew the soil. My soil has moderate drainage. What do you think? I see you recommend red deal. Would cheaper white deal be ok and what about using treatments to avoid rotting?
