How to get rid of poison ivy w/o killing pachysandra?
have an area that has more poison ivy the the ground cover!
A fairly easy way, so you don't have to touch it, is to spray it with poison ivy killer. A homemade version is 1 cup salt, 1 tablespoon dish soap in 1 gallon water. Put in a sprayer and spray away. This will kill all plants it touches though, so cover plants you want to keep. Also, please be very careful with the poison ivy. Absolutely do not burn it, as the smoke can carry the toxin also.
Find someone with goats, they will eat it, roots and all.
borrow a couple of goats and they will be happy to eradicate it for you.
I like the idea about the goats, but then when/where ever they poop you might end up with new poison I've from the seeds(if any)
Salt absolutely works, but you should know that nothing will grow in a salted area.
You could try 100% vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray in the heat of the day and watch the plants turn brown and die. let some soak into the root too. Good luck.
Vinegar worked for my friend too!
Check with your local Extension Office for additional help in your area.
Dissolve one cup salt in a gallon of water and add a tablespoon of dish soap to create a solution that can be sprayed on poison ivy.
