Ivy in compost

Hi,

I'm new to gardening and my neighbour has just told me that you should not compost ivy. Unfortunately I already have added a lot to my compost bin. I've fished most of it out but can't be sure I've got it all.

How much of a problem is this? And is there anything I can do to mitigate it short of chucking the whole lot out and starting again?

Kind regards,

Kenny Stevens

I would never do it but I can say from experience that when you turn the compost or spread or use it the ivy will still be obvious and you can fish it out then. I am sure you dont need to worry about it now.
