Try a vinegar and salt solution on your poison ivy - here's a recipe:<br>http://www.care2.com/greenliving/vinegar-for-poison-ivy.html<br>Toxic Free NC's director recommends getting suited up in long pants, closed shoes, long sleeves, gloves, safety goggles, and something to cover your face before going out to tackle poison ivy. Waiting 'til winter when the vegetation dies back is also a good idea - there's less risk of getting poison ivy yourself while you work.<br>Thanks for reading!<br><br>--<br>Billie Karel, Program Coordinator<br>Toxic Free NC<br>206 New Bern Place, Raleigh, NC 27601<br><br>(919) 833-1123<br>toll-free: 1-877-NO-SPRAY<br><br>billie@toxicfreenc.org<br>http://www.toxicfreenc.org<br><br>Sign up for updates from Toxic Free NC at http://toxicfreenc.org/involved/subscribe.htmlBilliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03029127936344195783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5240313324482147046.post-2887681250736788712009-08-29T14:02:41.970-04:002009-08-29T14:02:41.970-04:00I love this!

I wish I had a couple of goats to take care of the budding poison ivy in my front yard, but somehow I think my neighbors in suburbia would not really appreciate it. Actually, I think there is a law against it. <br><br>So, unfortunately, I guess I will have to resort to some poison, unless anyone has a better idea.Mary Ahttp://www.ncconservationnetwork.org/mainblog/noreply@blogger.com
