You need a surfactant as well so that this will stick to the plant; dish soap works well as a good organic option. This doesn’t actually kill the roots of the plant rather it burns the foliage. The root system will eventually grow back.

@michaelwillcutt2619 2 года назад

Best surfactant is vegetable oil

@lindanitzschke1315 2 года назад

Depending on the size of the plant (how much area it covers) and how close to a stove you are (and how far you are able to carry buckets of water, I would suggest you use a bunch of boiling water...that SHOULD do the roots, too, depending on how good a job you do. I'll bet soft water would be the best to use...I know soft water will kill grass, even without it being boiling hot.

@oldtimefarmboy617 2 года назад

@@michaelwillcutt2619 A surfactant's purpose is to eliminate water's surface tension so it spreads out instead of beading up. Surfactants also enable oils to mix with water. Vegetable oil does not mix with water. Vegetable oil will create an oily coating on a plant's leaves and suffocate the leaves but it will also repel water and any herbicide you may be using.

Use a blue dye to highlight your coverage. It's just a blue spray marker. Works very well so you can see what you sprayed and missed.

@kuvasz5252 Год назад

some hair dyes are sulfonated azo dyes, that can act as pH indicators and change from blue to red as the pH lowers, and since vinegar is 5% acetic acid don't be freaked out if the blue dye in neutral pH water turns to reddish purple as you add the vinegar to the water.

@edwardhaughney9665 6 лет назад

My approach is to locate the plants and digging the roots. The poison ivy vine can be 2 in. in thickness when growing up a tree. I begin following the beast below ground. It can go 20 ft. or more but not very deep. This type of killing I enjoy. Arms, hands legs need to be covered.

@olddale8443 7 лет назад

Don,t know where the person making this video lives, but here in South West Virginia we have a plant called jewel weed that will eliminate a bad case of poison ivy or poison oak overnight. the plant has light green serragated leaves with a translucent stem before it matures. Prior to maturing it has bright orange flowers, when touched cause seeds to pop out. It is also referred to as touch me knots. It grows in 90% shade areas. To use, simply cut the stem as low as possible, crush in a flat dish and rub the liquid on the effected area. The crushed stem can also be used

@OakKnobFarm 6 лет назад

We have jewel weed here in NH, too. Works great for itches! You can get a tremendous amount of fluid out of them, too. The stems are very juicy. A note about the seeds: They look like tiny green bananas. And they basically "explode" when you touch them

@angrodNumenesse 6 лет назад

We have Jewel Weed here in PA too. Works great on poison ivy and also mosquito bites! Works to prevent bites too. It's slightly toxic to humans, fatal to bugs, and whatever is in the juice destroys the protein in urushiol. I've been thinking about harvesting some to make my own bug spray.

@OakKnobFarm 6 лет назад

The best thing about jewel weed: It likes the same "turf" as poison ivy - border zones between grass and forest. They VERY often grow side-by-side. Mother Nature is groovy like that.

@lostboy583 5 лет назад

Helps to do it in full sun and use the mist spray option. The key is to soak the leaves. It usually has little effect to roots. It’s simply drying out exposed foliage. Sun is key

@bevkay4170 5 лет назад

Also, stubborn plants like any ivy, you have to spray it at the roots not just on top. ALL Vinegar, soap, yard sprayer and bye bye weeds. Do not dilute with water. No water needed unless you want to add salt for a permanent kill. If you want to plant something you’ll need to put several inches of dirt about 7 - 10in before planting.

@carlsa 8 лет назад

You may get more effective coverage by adding a surfactant to your vinegar/water mix. In agriculture, it's called an adjuvant and is used to make the spray "stick" better to the target plant.

@JustTheilogs 8 лет назад

Like using dish detergent right?

@carlsa 8 лет назад

Yes.

@jimh2061 3 года назад

If you ever come in contact with this you have to use a washcloth and soapy water to get the oils off. Its much better than washing with just soapy hands.

@Mathuews1 3 года назад

This is correct. You've got to grind off a few layers haha

@timfarry7071 2 года назад

Actually it might be dangerous using soapy water, it tends to spread the oil around and contaminate an even larger area. There are products on the market to remove the oils, they work wonders. If you use soap, wait until a generous hosing with plain water is done first, then be VERY thorough. Such tiny amounts will still burn the skin, had several run-ins with poison ivy, best to keep the special wash handy when around it...

I have used that exact same vinegar in the past straight up without mixing any water and it worked really well but about four months later the plant came back and had to be sprayed again next time I'll just add some dish soap so it sticks better

@ESLinsider 3 года назад

Yeah I tried that and it didn't work. It seems like if you don't get the roots out it will come back. I tried boiling water, vinegar, dish soap, and even some left over cleaning water that had a little bleach in it. Vinegar and dish soap didn't do much. Boiling water worked somewhat. I even made flame thrower with veggie oil spray and a lighter that was fun and I killed a lot of it. They'll say don't do that though. Wore glasses and a mask when I did it and didn't have any prob. Yet a few months later I still saw some growing back where I roasted it. I think maybe the best way to get rid of it is dig it up and pull the roots out just got to be cautious about it.

@MDC2020 5 лет назад

pour salt on the base of the plant if you can find it 100x better than vinegar. The best salt is either pool salt or the de-icing salt. Were ever salt goes nothing grows.

@lindanitzschke1315 2 года назад

If it weren't too hard a task, I'd use boiling water, as that's going to do the roots, too, if you do the job right. I would guess soft water would work better than just hard water, too, since that will kill grass even without the soft water being heated. My mom used boiling water in an area where she wanted clear an area to start a garden...it killed everything.

@Savannah-ed4rv 9 месяцев назад

I've had the same experience of spraying them with the vinegar solution and they turn fairly brown but about a week later they look like they've never been touched! My problem is I've got a lot of it growing up the side of my house and near my air conditioner. It's really awful because I don't want anyone working on my property to come in contact with it! Or me, so I may have to try the vinegar and spray every day for a couple of weeks or something? The Vines are going up my house and I pulled a lot of them down earlier this year but they grew right back. It's really an awful plant.

@mladyskirk5524 5 лет назад

I like the vinegar idea, but I have poison ivy invading perennial flower beds I want to keep. I use one of those round boxes of table salt, a small bottle of cheap dishwashing liquid and a small bottle of rubbing alcohol and put these ingredients in a clean milk jug and shake it up. Just paint the mixture with an old paintbrush on the topmost leaves of the plant. It draws the mix into the pores of the plant and eventually kills it at the root. Can take 2-3 applications for large or stubborn plants. Cap the jug to keep the unused portion for later use.

@northernpike13 5 лет назад

This only kills the leaves. What you see on the surface (plants with leaves) is like the fruit of a tree. The actual tree is the root system under the ground. Killing the leaves is a temporary fix. You either need to poison the entire area and kill everything that happens to be living there or pull the roots out by hand.

Surfactant (soap), is added to herbicides, not to make it stick to the plant, but to cut the oily film on the plant so the chemical can better get to the plant and be absorbed into it for a quicker better kill. Dawn is a good readily available soap that is made to cut down oil and grease. I reserve the right to be wrong, but this is my understanding on the subject, and hope it helps someone!

@jonripley5283 6 лет назад

I had pretty good luck using softener salt, a 40 lb bag costs about $5.00, put chunks of that salt all around where the stems come out of the ground. The salt soaks the moisture out of the plant, and kills it, including the roots. The chunks of salt last for a month or more, depending on rain, re-apply as needed. It kills all plants, so be specific where you put it, but it's not dangerous to the environment as a whole. With children and pets, salt is just a minor irritant.

@LadyBlackJack2012 5 лет назад

Spray Vinegar on the leaves and then sprinkle salt on top of the leaves or Straight Dawn dish soap and sprinkle table salt on the leaves..

SurvivalistGardener Could you please provide a link to a study based upon epidemiology that proves Roundup causes cancer in humans? I am already aware of the 2015 determination by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization, that glyphosate is a probable human carcinogen. I am also aware that the report has come under heavy criticism. That study does not prove that Roundup will cause cancer in humans. That study also does not even prove that Roundup would cause cancer to mice when Roundup is applied in agriculture. I am not saying that Roundup definitely could not cause cancer in humans, but I am saying that I am not convinced that Roundup used properly by a homeowner a few times per year will cause cancer. Could you please also post a link to a study proving that Roundup destroys honey bee colonies? I have not done any research on that issue, but I am a bit skeptical that my use of round up a few times per year in my backyard will do any damage to honey bees. Below is a link to a very good article discussing the Roundup cancer issue and the difficulty proving a link between Roundup and cancer. I am not sure if posting the link like this will work, but here it is anyways... theconversation.com/does-monsantos-roundup-cause-cancer-trial-highlights-the-difficulty-of-proving-a-link-100875 I am also a bit skeptical that vinegar will kill poison ivy plants. My guess is that vinegar May kill off the leaves, but not actually kill the plant. Therefore, the same plants may come back the next year. I am going to test my theory this afternoon by treating various patches of poison ivy using the two different methods. I will also mark the patches of poison ivy with stakes and labels to see if the plants come back next year. Thanks for posting your video and I will definitely try the vinegar method.

Adding a little soap helps make it stick. Pure vinegar is best for poison ivy of any age. The pi in this video is very young. I used vinegar, undiluted, on crabgrass, burrs, nutgrass, and a wide variety of other weeds growing densely over my community garden. Then I put black plastic, as the vinegar just slowed the weeds somewhat. (It didn't impact the Johnson grass at all.) I think the one-two punch of vinegar & plastic may help make the area easier to dig for cover crops. Right now I'm growing successfully in bales, boxes, and mounds, which will be good for future tilth, I think.

Akby I mean table salt ( Sodium Chloride) Halite . I believe most people reading and commenting knew what I was talking about when I said, salt , even the ones who commented with Epson Salts, I believe knew that is not what I meant, since it isn't salt at all !

+ SurvivalistGardener It looks like it would be better if you sprayed 40 or 50% Vinegar & 50-60% Water! Get it done the first time around withing 24 hours?

I have my own “remedy”: oxy medication. Think about it, it’s designed to take oil out of skin, what is poison ivy/sumac/etc, if it’s not an oil? It works extremely well, drying up poison ivy patches roughly same day as applied.

which is salicylic acid (aspirin) in some skin oil products or benzoyl peroxide which is in oxy. Did you try it? Does it work?

@brianpayne4549 3 года назад

@@scinneylegs oxy? Amazingly well. It clears it up in about a day. The only thing I’ll warn you about, is it tends to weep the oil, so be on guard with a paper towel/napkin.

@brianpayne4549 3 года назад

It does burn a bit, but if you can get over that, it works well.

@@scinneylegs aspirin will do nothing, it seems to me. But alcohol benzoyl peroxide works very well.

@@brianpayne4549 Good to know. I have a part-time landscaping job in the summer and today I went in and the whole area that we were going to work in was surrounded the poison ivy and I opted out for the day. I just didn't want to chance it. So I just thought I'd look at some of these posts on how to get rid of poison ivy this person's home was surrounded by a wooded area that was thick with poison ivy. The guy I work with says to me you'll be fine You've got pants on. Lol no thank you. I am so highly allergic it's not even a game for me. Best of luck to you anytime you come into contact with it again.

I use brush killer. It actually kills the root

This is only going to make the leaves drop off and then the plant will shoot up some new ones for your goats to eat or pets to rub on. The way to really get rid of it is spraying with Round-up or something like it, mixed from concentrate stronger than they say to. Then repeat this again in a few weeks and keep doing this all summer long. You will eventually win and get rid of all of it on your property. Then the birds spread the seed again and you do it again next summer. My husband obsessed over this for several years and won over it, but a few years later guess what was growing new plants again in different places...

The whole point is to NOT spray the carcinogenic Round-Up poison on my property. Round-up is the cause of numerous human illnesses, animal illnesses, and the cause of Honey Bee Colony Collapse Disorder. I suggest that you read my new book for proof- Secret Livestock of Survival- coming out soon. It will changer your mind about Round-up forever.

RoundUp!! : Wonderful stepchild created from Monsanto!!

@wuznotbornyesterda 8 лет назад

I never said I like it, nor do I like poison ivy! I spray only that, and only a little bit on the leaves, not all over everything. It kills the root so it quits growing back. You are wasting your time just de-leafing it. You may as well let the goats eat it.

@harveyhudspeth6824 7 лет назад

wuznotbornyesterda I've used round up the expensive concentrated version and it only killed a few leaves like this vinegar , the only thing that seems to faze it is poison ivy/ blackberry brush killer and even that I've had to reapply 2/3 times a season but it always returns following year

@deborahdrew8526 7 лет назад

round up is the worst. glad California won there label law suit. it is a awful product for ppl , animals and nature

He's talking about clearing land for his goats to feed not realizing that goats eat poison ivy without any adverse effects. They love it

@SurvivalistGardener 6 лет назад

Yes, goats eat poison ivy. But they will also get the oils on them. And since they are milk goats, and I have to milk them twice a day, that exposes me to poison ivy every time that I touch them.
