cut the vines where you can reach and paint the cut surfaces with roundup. I'm not sure I've adequately explained the MAGNITUDE of my problem. Please look at this picture I just took today of the other side of the poison oak plant I'm trying to kill. http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...0/11917454.jpg This is the full-size picture, just so you can SEE, up front, what I'm dealing with, face to face, man to land: http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11917454.jpg The sheer number of toxic vines is tremendous, so, cutting each one individually and painting them with weedkiller would certainly work - but - it would take a very long time! |

I get an allergic reaction to poison ivy just looking at it. Even looking at your pictures gives me itchy blisters. Those things look malevolent, like they're aware of and looking to catch and kill human beings. |

Damnedest thing. |

Those things look malevolent, like they're aware of and looking to catch and kill human beings. Funny you should say that, because I treat it like a battleground! I dress up in my protective gear, and I fuel and oil my weapon, and then I survey my enemy, looking for the weak spots in his fortress. As I attack, he reaches out at any bare skin with chemical warfare (1 cup of urushiol can poison everyone on the entire planet!) and I coil back in fear when it slaps me in the face. But, while slashing away at the outliers, soon I spy the leadership, a thick set of vines, each the thickness of a baseball bat, and I aim at them as Alexander did Darias, to fight my way past the wounded weeping tendrils guarding the lair, until I can get close enough to strike deep and hard at the core! http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11917693.jpg In the end, I win, and hold up the bleeding trophy in my triumphant hands! http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11917694.jpg Note: The amount of urushiol you see dripping in that one picture can poison the entire population of the planet, according to the prior references! wow. |
