I buy Roundup concentrate and make it at least twice as strong as the directions say. Then I spray it from a plastic sprayer I bought from Lowe's. I have been on a personal mission to eradicate all poison ivy that I can see from my property for several years. It's an ongoing battle, but there's a lot less of it than when I started.
For non-poison ivy applications, I also have a torch on a long pipe that connects to a propane bottle. That one is a lot of fun to use (except for hauling the propane bottle around), but for poison ivy you don't want to be burning it and inhaling the stuff. And then there's my dog. She kills grass by peeing on it, but that's kinda random and usually not where I want to get rid of the grass. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

Wayne, If you ever get the chance to do that again, use Miracle Grow. The grass will grown in Bright Green, and the lettering can't be removed without replanting the grass. Plus, pouring diesel on someone's grass is vandalism. Fertilizing someone else's lawn is not illegal.

Ortho makes a poison ivy/oak killer that wipes out just about anything. I have plenty expereince with weeds since I live in coastal mountains in California. Its me against the weeds and this stuff put me back in control.

Actually, Roundup at the regular rate works well as long as it can be absorbed by the plant. Some leaves have a waxy cuticle on the surface that reduces the uptake so something to reduce the pH of water will help - like vinegar or phosphoric acid (be careful with that one!). How much depends on the pH of your water and the quantity of spray you're preparing.
Don't let the mixed spray sit overnight. Mix it then apply it. Don't save it. Stressing the plants by holding back water also helps the uptake when they're sprayed with the herbicide. |

A chemical company I used to deal with had a product called Avitrol. It was a seed looking stuff that acted like LSD on the birds. They would freak out on it and fly into walls and things then OD.... |

My favorite phrase -- 'the liquid lawnmower'
When you have a friend in the landscape business, he helps you get industrial quantities of: A) RoundUp -- a systemic which takes a while to work, but kills the plant from the inside out (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) Scythe -- a 'burn down' chemical that destroys the plant matter in a matter of hours. Last I checked, the two can be mixed for double the VanDamme-age. The stuff that helps RoundUp stick/get absorbed is called a surfactant. Most new models of RoundUp state "No surfactant needed", meaning it comes built in. If you have a large area to do a backpack sprayer is worth the investment*. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blowtorch.gif) Have fun. *Backpack sprayers are also good for repeatedly getting small area. Say, once every three months, or when I need to find the jackstands under the car (this really upsets the HOA). |
