Very appreciative for the feedback on Ivy, and for taking the time to answer. Please be sure to keep track of my progress, as I will gladly buy you a meal when you are in town, once my place is open, lol. I will be posting questions frequently in the coming months, I am sure. Cheers.
Added Response: Yes, I would be very interested to hear about your progress Solomon. Feel free to write whenever you have additional questions, I am happy to help when I can.

Plant Weight by: Kevin
What a nice, cool idea - to plant Ivy in that manner. If I may, I'd like to add my little bit. Ivy is heavy, and by heavy I mean that the Russian Ivy ("Mile-a-Minute" Ivy) I planted many years ago brought down it's metal chain-link fencing support in under two years, and needed lots of maintenance to manage it. For you, this means making sure that your Ivy support is substantial. Hopefully it is not the sort of Ivy that likes to put it's tendrils into the mortar-work of the bricks for support. Also, my mother had a small cafe one time and installed a water feature. Some customers complained about the noise of the water making them wanting to use the toilet, while others delighted in its therapeutic effects and the wash of negative ions that the splashing water creates. Good luck with both ventures!
