An evening of peace

Dave47 - I found a recipe for Poison Ivy Killer on the Natural Gardner website http://www.naturalgardeneraustin.com/ (Although my Dad claims that acetic acid that you buy in a photo supply will kill anything, but he doesn't have poison ivy where he lives.)

Recipe to Kill Poison Ivy
1/2 cup Orange Oil
1 gal 20% vinegar
1 tsp liquid soap
Mix above ingredients and spray on poison ivy leaves. If vine is in tree, cut the vine at base of tree, when it sprouts spray with mixture. Typically, poison ivy will sprout again after 1 application, but will not after the second application. Caution: be sure to clean your tools, hands and possibly clothes with Tecnu cleanser to remove the poison ivy oils.

NOTE that this mixture will kill any plant on which it is sprayed, not just poison ivy. Also, 20% vinegar is very strong and you will want to protect your self, children and animals from fumes.

Recipe from Trisha Shirey at Lake Austin Spa and Resort

Yankee Cat,
Thank you so much!

Hi,

Nice photos. Very peaceful. I was surprised to see you could fit 6 photos on one upload. How did you do that? [g]

I put them in a collage and uploaded that instead

Thanks Anita, I haven't tried that yet. :-)
