    I would wait a year until planting. Poison ivy is very invasive and typically it takes several months to completely get rid of it. It is much easier to get rid of if you can use wholesale methods to kill it rather than having to work around new plantings.

    Even with organic control, I would make sure to wash the berries thoroughly before selling/eating them.

    Rainwater should do the job for you, but to be on the safe side, I'd wash the vegetables thoroughly with mild soap and water before cooking or eating raw.

    As summer fades, so does the poison ivy. While these plants do go dormant in fall and winter, be aware that they can still cause problems. The poison remains active even after the plant is dead. If you're looking to get rid of poison ivy (or oak), treat with herbicide first (to kill the roots) then, wearing gloves, hand pull dead plant material and dispose of it. Do not burn it, however, as the poison can be breathed in and will result in a nasty rash.
