I am also curious as I have a frightenly large patch of poison ivy I'd
like to eradicate. My tolerance/resistance to p.i. is absolutely zero. I
need to find a safe way to remove it and have considered sheet mulching,
comfrey and/or rhubarb. I'm so sensitive to it I will also need to find
someone to do the work! Anyone have ideas for a design/method?
