Back about July I asked what to do about getting rid of poison ivy growths
around my ponds. I wound up spraying a little Round-Up. I treated each plant that I could find with its own little squirt, I didn't do much in the way of overspray. Anyway, it must not have been poison ivy. It was sure easy to kill, and it hasn't resprouted or come back. I couldn't have gotten it all (that's not my style) but I'll be darned if I can find any of it. I researched it a lot, I went to websites and identified it (I thought) from pictures and even ruled out "look alike" plants that are often mistaken for it. Like I say, I don't react to it (yet) so it has never been a real big priority for me to recognize it, but I sure didn't want it around. I probably wiped out the highly endangered last surviving clump of harmless *poisonus ivyus look alikeus* in North America, but its gone nonetheless.
