Wh...DM - You ruthless, heartless, uncaring bastard! What about the living spirits of the vines?! They're just trying to make a living, just like you. They have kids, many have grandchildren (as you're about to), they're saving for retirement... & you come along with a fat polluting tractor and rip out their hearts! Tell me: is THIS your idea of "Zen"? And by the way, ever heard of "karma"?Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16610113687484874053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6703262675305458176.post-27402004462449787452009-05-15T06:34:00.000-07:002009-05-15T06:34:00.000-07:00See what happens when I don't revise.

It's my click happy fingers that caused me to leave a sentence just kind of hanging there...like the grape vine you mention :) Lesson learned, again.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17837049529611598475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6703262675305458176.post-9165030278334929412009-05-15T06:24:00.000-07:002009-05-15T06:24:00.000-07:00Don't you just love spending time with nature :). ...Don't you just love spending time with nature :). Yeah, right, huh? Not in this case. I too have the grape ivy everywhere and have pulled it and cut it in an attempt to save some trees. <br /><br />one-third each of soap water, vinegar, and salt. Mix these as well as you can.<br /><br />I have not really had much of a problem with the poison ivy. We have very little here (but, my kids usually find it, of course). I have read that 1/3 cup of each soapy water (organic dish soap-local stores have it), salt, and vinegar will eradicate it. I think I'd try putting in a lawn sprayer, rather than a small scort bottle, for a big job. <br /><br />Good luck.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17837049529611598475noreply@blogger.com
