Poison Ivy

Question

I don’t want to use Round-up and such. But, I’m looking for a non-chemical solution to get rid of Poison Ivy. I cant pull it up, because there are far too many around.

Answer 1

There are a very limited number of methods that won't require at least some kind of chemical. Besides pulling them by hand, I would recommend pouring large amounts of boiling water on the plants and on the roots. This will kill it off.
