Found more poison ivy and it's clipped and sprayed.

[Siwsan]

I worked in the same area that I tried clearing the other day. It LOOKS like I got most of it but I think I see a vine growing up the plum tree. I'll have to rake the ground so that I can clip the right stem but I think I'll wait a day or two, just to see if the stuff on the ground is gone.

There's another plant growing along the foundation of the east side of the house. I thought I got it all but just noticed some still growing.

Ugh.

1. Seems especially potent this year. I only got close enough to a vine to take a pic and got a rash

2. You need a goat!

We've been putting one ailing buck on our fenced hillside the past couple weeks, and he's pretty much cleaned it up. It was covered with poison ivy. Doesn't affect goats. Spraying the stuff didn't do much.

I can lend you one!

3. It falls to weed killers of all sorts.

For large stems (I get poison oak. Some vines 10 feet tall or more.), the weed killer works, too, but I'll also clip them at the base with a pole pruner (specifically the Fiskars one with the pull handle). And it's also good for transporting stuff that needs to be transported at a distance of some 4 feet or so from you.

Of course, easiest in the spring when the leaves are bright red.

4. UGH!

Not seeing any around here, but not gardening either.

My last time catching it as 30? years ago, under back door stairs in DC.

5. I'm fighting the same battle. I am sore infected, and finally found a patch in my back yard.

I think my dog walked through it, then came in the house and wallowed around on me.

6. Here in Cascadia the poison oak seems to REALLY like the increasing atmospheric CO2.

Just an observation from a lifetime paying attention, first to poison ivy when a kid in Ohio and then from adolescence on, to poison oak after moving out west.
