Do You Want Ivy on Your Chain Link Fence?

A quick fun post this afternoon.......

I get this question numerous times over the year. Many coaches/grounds managers look to grow ivy on their chain link. I ran across a good stand of ivy the other day at Covenant Christian HS. Andy Gossel is growing Euonymus on his chain link fence. Why Euonymus? It leafs out quicker in the spring than Boston ivy (that is the ivy at Wrigley Field) so it creates a good hitters backdrop earlier in the spring.

Here are a few photos. This is 8 years of growth.
