Why isn't pulling them out by hand working? I have ivy, oak, buck-eye,
poison oak, wild plumb and assorted other plants trying to push up where
they're not wanted. See 'em. Grab 'em, and pull 'em. Probably take you
10 minutes the first time, and 5 min./wk. there after.

Ok, don the PVC gloves and roundup, onward! I'll get a bucket
of soapy water to stick the gloves in after I'm finished. Hey, glad
I thought of that. I don't know what that stuff is that looks like
cataloupe leaves but it outpaces everything.
