Default Poison Ivy replacement

wrote in message
oups.com...
So if I win my current battle with two 25ft poison ivy bushes
(currently going at them with Roundup and triclopyr in various forms
of application), what should I plant in their place to minimize the
chances that any new seedlings will have the opportunity to sprout and
thrive? Any ground cover that is a decent competitor to poison ivy?


Prepare for a million opinions on this, but for at least one full season,
I'd keep the area barren so you can see what's coming up and deal with it
instantly.
