Rain! We finally got a little pounding of rain last night. Cooler today and currently at 42 degrees. Might possibly freeze lightly tonight....

Do you have any more SUBTLE suggestions, Mitch?

rock salt..................

 

[HARO]

rock salt..................

I never thought of that! Was just reading about using epsom salts to rot away tree stumps, too. But you have to drill roles and fill them with salt, and that would be enough evidence to put me behind bars!! I'll have to think about it some more. Might be worth three months to have my lilies blooming again!

Oh, God... I'm ADDICTED!!!!

I should try it on the poison ivy!

 

[sissy]

I use it on mine .The guy I hired sprayed the stuff with an extra strong brush and poison ivy kille and it came back a year later .I tried my dads way with a bucket with holes drilled in and rock salt in the bucket near the roots and water put in to slowly dissolve the rock salt so it can leach into the ground .Had to use a pipe with a hook on it to put the bucket near the root area and then used the hose to put water in it .Killed the kudzu also .

The problem with our ivy, it is among honey suckle, vines climbing up trees, in my gardens. When I find it small I spray with strong roundup. Out in the woods, honeysuckle, I let the stuff grow, it gets 10 foot tall. The only way to kill it off is to kill all the plants around it.
