How-To Get Rid of Poison Ivy Near Vegetables
Howard emailed me what would appear to be a very straight forward question: “What can I use to eliminate poison ivy near a vegetable garden?”. We all know that getting rid of poison ivy is never an easy task. Many weed killers do a decent job of eradicating this pest, but most must be applied several times to really do the job. Even though these products are rated relatively safe to the environment, you want to be even more cautious when spraying near vegetables for your family.
I mentioned the acetic acid based weed killers and painting the herbicide directly on the leaves of the weed, to lessen its spread. Do you have any suggestions for battling poison ivy? They say with the warmer temperatures of recent years, poison ivy is becoming hardier than ever. So this is probably going to become an even bigger problem for gardeners.
