In the picture below you can see some of the old ivy to the left. Also, you can see how the old ivy was cut to the stumps below the fence. There are about 7 stumps left. How do I get the ivy to grow back more quickly and cover the 42' x 8' fence.

Hi:

I had beautiful 25 year old trimmed (3-4 x's a year) ivy growing on and completely covering my fence. The fence fell down this winter. The ivy had to be fully cut back to just above the ground. There are about 7 stumps left.

I'm trying to figure out how long it will take to grow back and cover the new fence which is 8' high and 42' long and how to make it grow more quickly.

Also, I was thinking about using Bandini Pro Choice 15 15 15 as a fertilizer so the vines will grow back faster. I'm worried about using too much in a single does or using it too often (monthly or bi-weekly).

I have photos but don't see how to attach them. The old ivy is green year round. Can you tell me what kind of ivy it is and how to get it to grow back quickly? There are only a few green leaves left. The rest are stumps and old dead branches ... but stumps and roots are undisturbed.

I think it's English ivy, which many people hate but I love it ... if it's cut back and trimmed 3-4 times per/yr

Thanks for your time.
