stone said:At my house, poison ivy is the easiest vine in the world to remove.
I cleared a new section of garden... after I cleared out the brush n saplings, came up in poison ivy almost as thick as turf!
Went out with a mattock, and after rooting it out 1 time... It was gone!
Try getting rid of Chinese wisteria that easily!

.. what is a mattock?
We have Poison Ivy [ husband is almost done with itching, etc ] but the vines are still under a Dogwood tree and our Fir. Any help would be appreciated [ we don't have enough to hire a goat to eat it ]

[ we have a difference of opinion -- he wants to roundup it in the Fall -- I would prefer something not as harmful ]
Live like every day as it is your last because one day -- it will be.
(if I can find who said this, I'll credit that dear Soul -- wasn't me, but it makes a lot of sense)

This isn't a dress-rehearsal ~
