I used to use Round Up on everything, since the recent finding that
it <u>may</u> be carcinogenic, I still use it, but am more careful
with it, and use 2-4D when I can. This doesn't protect me from the
farmer across the road who sprays all 250 acres with it, but that's
sprayed from an enclosed cab with specialized equipment, not a
backpack sprayer.<br>

I doubt it’s about the money - more about an approach with less of
a chemical footprint. I know zip about that chemical foot print
of the compounds discussed here so I leave it to others to decide
if that chemical footprint is worth a concern or not. I also
leave everyone with the reminder that not all chemical footprints
are well known, regardless of the labeling and short term general
consensus.

<div>Personally I just use roundup on the low, bushy poison ivy.
The climbing vines I hack a 1’ section out of it. When that
vine re-emerges I hit it with round up. Works great.</div>

<div>I have to have round-up for the grasses and weeds that try to
tear up the edges and cracks of our private asphalt road. So the
cost of a little extra round-up for poison ivy control is of no
financial/chemical footprint concern to me.</div>

<div>I have very little reaction to poison ivy. I pretty much have
to roll around in it for me to even get a few blisters. But my
poor wife really suffers. She generally gets it in early spring.
I assume she’s getting into the roots of the poison ivy while
she’s planting annuals and working beds before the low bushy
stuff emerges and can been seen/identified.</div>

Poison Ivy is 8% Triclopyr and you mix 4 oz to the
gallon. A 16oz jug is $8.00, so $2.00 per gallon. I'm
sure it's a better value in larger quantities. I don't
think I can find vinegar as cheap as $2 a gallon.

<div> I've read of the Triclopyr as well but it's
pricey for the area I need to cover. I'm going to
try the vinegar solution first because its cheap
and so am I. Brush be gone would be fine if I had a
small area to clear, but I don't. I'll report back
the results. Thanks all for the info. <br>
