poison ivy

Question

I have hedges surrounding my home. Within those hedges are poison ivy. How do I get rid of the ivy without ruining the hedges?

Answer 1

The best solution I've found is to very carefully pull up as many plants as you can while wearing gloves and placing them directly into a garbage bag. If a plant is too big to pull up, then cut it off at the base and kill the stump with either boiling water or a dab of herbicide.
