RE: Hi I'm A Newbie with a ??

Welcome aboard, Holli!  A friend of Donna's is always welcome.  

Even round up requires several attempts and a couple years (from my own
anecdotal evidence.)  I'd try Rich's solution first.  

As for your garden this year, we all have years where it doesn't exactly
meet our own expectations and then there are years where the garden thrives
with no good reason to do so.  I'm calling this year the Year of the Weed
since I haven't had much time at all to do weeding!  Next year will be the
Year of Separation, since I didn't have time to dead head like I should have
and I'll have LOTS of overcrowding and volunteers next spring to be sure.  

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

Subject: [CHAT] Hi I'm A Newbie with a ??

HI I'm Holli, a really good friend Donna, had told me about this great  
gardening group, so I decided to join up!  Havent had the greatest garden
this 
year, but it was passable. I was disappointed this year, but the bees seem
to 
enjoy it!  LOL 
 Anyway I have a question..  I am loaded with POISON IVY, in the  back yard 
and so is the family in the house behind me.  She did have  someone do
removal 
tonight and then they were going to spray something in the  grown so it wont

come back next year.
Is there a safe way to remove it ... it really is in a bad area..it's by
the 
pond and continues across the back of the yard and entwined in all my pine  
trees.  And of course I have a dog.
 
Any suggestions?
Thank You
Holli LI,NY
