Is there a better way to remove a poison oak plant than with achainsaw?
This weekend, I needed to remove a poison oak plant along
my property but the plant was too big and too much on a hill for spraying; so I cut it with an 18" chainsaw and packed it up for proper disposal. After just two hours, I was covered in the poison oak oil (my clothes came out of the wash all streaked black as if the kids had taken a black marker to them) - but I had to stop as the two recyling bins were jam packed to the brim. Since I still have a few more poison oak plants to remove, I'm wondering if you outdoor experts have a better way than what I'm doing for removal of a poison oak plant from your property? (The last picture is of me washing up!) Here are 19 annotated pictures, taken sequentially. 1. http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912409.jpg 2. http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912411.jpg 3. http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912412.jpg 4. http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912413.jpg 5. http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912414.jpg 6. http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912415.jpg 7. http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912417.jpg 8. http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912419.jpg 9. http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912420.jpg 10. http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912421.jpg 11. http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912422.jpg 12. http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912423.jpg 13. http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912424.jpg 14. http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912425.jpg 15. http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912426.jpg 16. http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912427.jpg 17. http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912428.jpg 18. http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912429.jpg 19. http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11912430.jpg I didn't measure it, but this one plant is about 20 feet long (or so), by about 20 feet deep down a hill - but I only removed about 5 feet along the curb as I ran out of room in the bins. |
