ORIGINAL: DesFIP I admit that we own a bottle of Roundup. Unfortunately, nothing else will eliminate poison ivy. I admit that being in the UK I don't have to worry about it. Mind you there are people here that bang on about Mares tail, bind weed, and numerous other stuff that they swear you can only get rid of with Round-up. Strangely I've dug it out and not had it return. They constantly spray because obviously you can only treat what is growning, and their soil is My biggest nightmare is periwinkle (sp), pretty, but a bugger for smothering everything if not controlled, and my neighbours do not control it. Vinegar will do exactly the same job on every other weed, and it's so much kinder to the soil, the water, and thus us and every other living thing My garden is also a part of a Bee experiment for the next three years too, so no chemicals allowed as I was specifically chosen as an organic site It's been fascinating this first year.
