Poision Ivy...
I've recently found some Poison Ivy growing in my back garden. I actually found it the "hard" way and then whent looking for a correct ID of the plant, so I didn't end up in it again, but also to get rid of this ruthless thug of the plant world.
Parts of the garden were getting neglected for various reasons, conditions I'm sure PI enjoys, but I am also wondering if there is a common weed in the Southern Ohio/Cincinnati area that mimics Poison Ivy? Aside from Virginia Creeper, which has 5 leafs.
I'm not sure if I'm being paranoid or just looking at things with fresh eyes, but I've spotted suspicious plants in the front yard too. It seems this stuff just "popped" up on me too.
I've read that Ortho Brush B Gon is the ticket when killing this plant, but I'm concerned with kiling things growing nearby or the herbicide leaching into the soil, making it difficult/impossiable to replant the area. I could dawn long shirt/pants/boots and dig up the plants, but how successful is this? I've read getting all the roots is almost impossiable. Some of this is growing amoung other plants too... loosing some of the Black Eyed Suzans is one thing (they'll grow back), but there are other plants I don't want to harm.
Advice greatly appreciated!
