Anyone who'd go out defoliating poison ivy as a way to get rid of it is a
prime candidate for the Charles Darwin awards (though the winners usually do
more horrible things)....

LOL, Bobbie! Well, he's right, of course, as constant defoliation
eventually kills any plant...but with PI, who'd you get (in their
right mind) to DO it?
Understand goats love the stuff. Have often been very tempted to
rent a herd for that purpose. You do have to keep an eye on them,
tho' as they are not discriminating and will eat most anything green,
I've heard.
