I didn't watch completely until the end, but there ought to be a warning about handling and disposing of the dry wilted remaining poison ivy foliage. Whenever I think about "disposing" of something into the trash, I follow the rules regarding the materials or items, but I always think about the human beings 'down the line' who might handle the trash. For instance, if I discard broken glass, I don't just put it in the trash can and forget it. I try to wrap the broken glass in cardboard or heavy paper, and I write on the outside a cautionary message in large block letters, so that the folks at the waste processing plant don't get hurt. I don't know if there is a way to neutralize the poisonous oils in poison ivy to prevent skin injury to anyone. I have read that even trying to burn poison ivy is dangerous, because the gases in the resulting smoke will cause irritation and harm to the respiratory system.

I agree. I also don't want to kill the plants that it's growing around.

It could have rooted into the bark.

@@bill-2018 And it could have not. It will un root when it dies from the stem being cut.

@@amalias8888 I did it last year and then got more spuds from the same plant.

@@amalias8888poison ivy is a very resilient plant, and having tried this methid for years, saw the same plant grow back until tried to pull it up with gloves on, and the leaves brushed against my upper arms. Boom poison ivy rash for 2 weeks😂

Just trying to offer a solution without using harsh chemicals.

@@thehilltoplife I understand, but why do you think salt and acid are somehow better? Anything that kills is harsh, what makes you think the chemicals in your recommendation are any less so? This is just far less effective (so it requires much larger repeated dosing) and takes a lot longer. In many regards it is actually less environmentally friendly. Glyphosate has been in use for decades, and after endless studies, beyond ignorant paranoia, there is zero evidence that it is harmful in any way. It breaks down quickly and is very effective, those are good things. Salting the earth (which is essentially what you are suggesting) is far worse.

I heard that triclopyr is more effective, than glyphosate.

No

Good question. I have the same situation.

Eason salt is magnesium sulfate. Table salt is sodium chloride. The magnesium is more toxic to plants. The. @mount of table salt needed would render the soil fallow for years. Remember the fall of Carthage? The Romans salted the fields so no one could live there.

i used table salt and it worked just fine

From my own experience, after you have contact with poison ivy, you must wash thoroughly all your exposed skin with soap and water. Also, clean your clothes and tools as well to get rid of the oily resin, urushiol, from poison ivy left behind. The worst scenario if you get poison ivy rash after a few days, get the poison ivy treatment from the drugstore and the rash might take a week or two to see improved.

Benadryl works for me. The sooner you take it the better.

The biggest part of getting rid of the oils is using a wet rag to wash with, as it creates a ton more friction in areas you think are clean, to actually wipe away the oils.

@@lovepeony1478 Use a detergent that cuts oil. The aggravating part from Poison Ivy/Oak is oil based. (Dawn is used by many folks)

Get some jewel weed salve. It works!! I’d get poison ivy rashes for weeks at a time, now I put some salve on at first sign, and it’s no big deal.

I’ve seen you eat deez in another video the other day too

@@JUDGEME5150 ha, GOT EEM!

@@christophersmith0865 good to see your a go with the flow-ER instead of a straight up hater. 👍

Did you tried? It worked?

The tree is still living. 🙂 The mixture is not strong enough to kill a tree.

Your correct. All you need to do is pull up the roots then wash all clothes and tools you wore.

After the spraying of course!

@@jonathanmosebach2921 I'm sure you could just spray and leave it. Hopefully, it won't spread anymore once it is dried up if left.

Everyone is allergic to it! LOL!

@@jampasritalon4180 80 percent of people so yep pretty much

Yes

@Average User how long till the ground could be planted? Your best guess! I've got some gnarly old poison ivy on one side of my property. One vine going up a tree has several branches and is as big as your wrist or more.

Only if you use industrial grade vinegar and it still might come back. I used the industrial strength vinegar full strength (which is not recommended) and some did return.

@@donnawojdacz6969 Ok thanks

I don't know the brand, but it was around $8 at Walmart.

So far it has, over two years later the ivy still has not returned.

Yes because the leaves absorb it and it goes down into the roots.

You probably can't plant anything unless you add more soil back to the area.

Vinegar is very harmful for nature. It lowers the pH of the groundwater for a long periode of time. It is devastating for all soil-living organisms.
