Poison ivy

My experience is that glyphosate requires multiple applications for control.

Poison ivy and oak don't seem to be able to with stand regular mowing. If all your property is lawn, it probably won't be a problem and for someone who is alergic, making it that way, might be worth it. Unfortunately, part of my lot doesn't lend it's self to mowing. I had to cut a pile of the stuff off a ditch bank with hedge clippers yesterday. The good part is that, it seldom makes me break out.

Stoypoint would I mix that from TS or apply it straight. I have a rather large patch at the woodline I would like to get rid of, but cost has always stopped me .

make up some saltwater and dump it on the poison ivy- kills the plant.

Salt water works well for me.

The labels for 41% glyphosate say to use 2% of the chemical per gallon of water. This equates to 2.67 ounces of 41% glyphosate per gallon of water. So, if you wanted a 5 gallon mixture, you would add 13.33 ounces of the herbicide to the water. The labels also say "For control. Repeat applications may be required to control. Fall treatments must be applied before leaves lose green color."

At $50 per 2.5 gallons, 41% glyphosate costs $0.16/ounce. Thus, a 5-gallon mix would cost $2.08.

I sprayed a fence line with remedy spring of 2012 & it killed the poison ivy/oak & it still hasn't come back.

Just in case you get in contact with it, this is what we use. Most drug stores have it, but we get ours at Walmart. It's called Technu. Technu - Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, Poison Sumac Treatment - (www.poisonivy.us)

My experience is also that roundup won't kill it right away, you have to spary it several times.

Sweet, sounds like that is the way to go and much cheaper than the roundup.
