A master gardener did a wonderful job on this property years ago. i bought the property in December but had no idea what types of plants I was going to see this year. It's been exciting! But after my second round of poison ivy, I need to find it and get rid of it. I also have stinging nettles throughout the plants. I need to identify the poison ivy first. There are two areas that I believe are part of the problem. There's probably more but I need to know for sure what I am looking at. Once I identify the plants and vines, how do I get rid of them without killing the other plants? As for the stinging nettles, how do I get rid of them?
Bought home w/ lots of poison ivy n nettles!
the poison sprays will kill them but there is often collateral damage from some of the sprays. You have to keep a small cone around the orifice of the spray end. I am luckier to have a helper that is immune to poison ivy, and he pulls it wherever he sees it.
