Hi, I am posting for the first time here. I have read many of the
articles and this seems like a great newsgroup!!

I have searched the internet and I cannot figure out how to successfully
get rid of poison ivy from my yard. We live in a wooded area and are
just trying to beat the poison ivy back out of the gardens and out of the
lawn on the edges of the woods. I normally don't like to use chemicals,
but after a few nasty cases of blistering skin, I ran to get some Round
Up. That is very expensive and doesn't seem to work that great. I have
also covered up with latex and pulled out scads of vines, bagged them and
thrown them in the garbage, but that is a hazardous endeavor. Are there
any home remedies that people have used that work?

If the roots are well developed, it will take many
applications of Roundup to kill it. It's a sturdy plant.

As with any chemical, I suggest you wear gloves and don't
spray when it's windy.
